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, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's title describes a specific dried herb product, yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried organic sorrel. Instead, the available records show state and local governments procuring dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans — for institutional food service, bulk meal programs, and correctional facility kitchens. These bean solicitations span Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and municipal food programs serving children through federal Child and Adult Care Food Program contracts. The mismatch between the code's narrow focus and the actual procurement activity suggests that sorrel-specific demand either does not register in recent state and local notice flows or is absorbed under broader commodity codes for dried vegetables or food staples rather than tagged to 50436002.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary procurement signals from Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate dried-bean RFQs in June 2026 — one for approximately 42,500 pounds of pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026, with a 10% local-preference evaluation adder for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered vendors) and another for triple-cleaned black beans (due August 21, 2026). Georgia Correctional Industries solicited 880-bag increments of kidney beans via RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 (due October 9, 2026), with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification-sheet completion requirements. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP2026017 on August 11, 2026, for comprehensive CACFP meal supplies across beverages, paper goods, proteins, vegetables, fruits, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items serving approximately 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference (5% price adjustment within city limits) and a response deadline of August 4, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procured through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic TDCJ warehouse areas, with response extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026, and contract performance running through August 31, 2027 plus two optional one-year renewals. No current opportunities specifically demand dried organic sorrel.
