UNSPSC 50436002: Dried organic garden sorrel

The variety of organic sorrel known as organic garden sorrel that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436002 Dried organic garden sorrel, a Commodity code, does not show relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code document solicitations for broad food supply categories—cafeteria food products, fresh produce, dried beans, and grocery items for school nutrition and correctional facilities—none of which specifically request dried organic garden sorrel or any dried herb or botanical product. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two bids for dried pinto and red beans (March 2026 and June 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products spanning proteins, grains, and staples (May 2026), and multiple school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia sought fresh produce, grocery items, and food supply contracts. These solicitations reflect standard institutional food service procurement—vegetables, fruits, proteins, dairy, and staple items in bulk quantities for daily meal service—rather than specialty dried botanicals or organic herbs.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System), state corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and a municipal child care program (City of Edinburg, Texas). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Virginia, with additional activity in Oregon and Illinois. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact; the actual procurement is mainstream food service supply, and dried organic garden sorrel does not feature in any of the posted opportunities.
