UNSPSC 50436004: Dried organic wood sorrel

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

UNSPSC 50436004 Dried organic wood sorrel, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this designation in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted against this code all procure dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans) and broader food-service supplies for institutional meal programs — correctional facilities, child and adult care programs, and state agency kitchens — rather than the specialized botanical product the code nominally describes. State and local issuing bodies treating this code as a dried-legume category are using it to tag food procurement for correctional systems, school meal programs, and institutional food service across state departments and specialized procurement divisions.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas, with Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appearing as repeat institutional buyers. Representative recent opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans due October 9, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid S2910000017140 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, with bids due June 19, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time; and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' IFB 304T26300CF on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for cafeteria food products with response due May 4, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas also solicited food supplies under RFP 2026-017 for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving approximately 400 children daily, with a local-vendor preference applying under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Pricing and volume specifications vary widely — the Georgia bid requires 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing; Oregon's ODOC procurement set a historical benchmark of $0.493 per pound in August 2025; and institutional food-service contracts typically include pre-bid meetings, brand-specification or approved-equivalent options, USDA grade compliance, and palletized FOB destination delivery terms.
