UNSPSC 50436003: Dried organic sheep sorrel

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

UNSPSC 50436003 Dried organic sheep sorrel, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities blocks show no solicitations for dried organic sheep sorrel itself. Instead, state and local jurisdictions are actively procuring dried beans of various types—kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans—for institutional food service, correctional facilities, child care programs, and cafeteria operations. The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the actual buying patterns reflected in tagged opportunities suggests the code does not represent a meaningful procurement category in state and local markets at present.

The issuing bodies soliciting dried legumes under related codes include state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state food-procurement offices (State of Georgia, State of Oregon, State of Illinois), and municipal entities (City of Edinburg, Texas). Recent opportunities span Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois, with Georgia and Texas showing repeated institutional demand. Representative solicitations include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans (92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026, 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing), the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% Oregon-content preference and FOB destination to Salem), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including dried beans (304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026). Pricing on recent dried-bean procurements has ranged from historical $0.493 per pound (ODOC, August 2025) to firm, all-inclusive quotes submitted on mandatory price sheets with delivery to state distribution centers. No activity specifically for dried organic sheep sorrel appears in the recent block.
