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 is a Commodity code that nominally describes a niche agricultural product, but recent state and local opportunities show minimal substantive activity aligned with the code's specific scope. The single concrete opportunity explicitly naming this commodity does not appear in the recent-opportunities block; instead, the solicitations tagged under this code predominantly address broad food procurement for institutional meal programs—school nutrition services, corrections facilities, and child care operations—spanning proteins, produce, dairy, grains, beverages, and prepared entrees rather than dried herbs or specialty crops. The issuing bodies are varied: state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), county and city school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System and Muscogee County School District in Georgia; Douglas County School System in Georgia), a regional buying cooperative (GEC Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts), and a city nutrition program (City of Edinburg, Texas). School districts and state agency food service operations appear as the dominant repeat buyers across the block.

Geographic concentration runs heaviest in Georgia (State of Georgia procurement, Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System) and Texas (City of Edinburg CACFP program, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division), with secondary activity in Oregon (ODOC), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Illinois (State of Illinois). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products serving Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouse locations across five geographic areas with response deadline of May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum from April 21); Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens with response deadline April 27, 2026; the City of Edinburg's RFP 2026017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supplies to 400 children daily with response deadline August 4, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services to 32 schools and central office serving approximately 25,500 students with estimated annual expenditure of $9 million and response deadline February 18, 2026. The code shows no clear market signal for dried organic sheep sorrel or other specialty dried herbs; procurement activity under this taxonomy label centers on conventional institutional food service supply chains rather than niche agricultural products.
