UNSPSC 50446003: Frozen sheep sorrel

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

UNSPSC 50446003 Frozen sheep sorrel is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code does not include frozen sheep sorrel. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code solicit frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen carrots, frozen assorted vegetables, and comprehensive grocery and food service products spanning fresh produce, meats, dairy, and prepared items. The mismatch between the nominal code scope and actual buying activity suggests either a classification error in the source data or that the code is being used as a placeholder for broader frozen produce and grocery procurement.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing frozen vegetable and food service contracts span Oregon Department of Corrections, City of Bridgeport, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Department of Transportation, State of Illinois, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, multiple Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Early County Board of Education, Burke County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), Montgomery County Pennsylvania Correctional Facility, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Dallas Independent School District, Texas Department of Transportation, Douglas County School System, New Jersey Department of Human Services, and Ben Hill County Schools. Recent solicitations are concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and other states with active school district and corrections purchasing. Oregon Department of Corrections issued multiple ITBs for frozen carrots, frozen corn, and frozen assorted vegetables in the second and third quarters of 2026, with response deadlines in July and June and 10-percent resident/Oregon-goods preferences. Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued comprehensive food and consumables bids covering multiple categories in the April-June 2026 window. Georgia school districts (Early County, Burke County, Bulloch County, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County) solicited school nutrition procurement with bids due in May and June 2026, all emphasizing Buy American, HACCP compliance, and firm fixed pricing. Fairfax County Public Schools issued Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323) due April 27, 2026. Bridgeport Board of Education and Montgomery County Pennsylvania Corrections procured comprehensive grocery assortments in June and July 2026. The bulk of recent activity is school nutrition and corrections food service, with pricing typically submitted per pound or per unit on FOB destination terms, firm-fixed pricing for 12 months with limited midterm adjustments tied to third-party indices, and delivery windows of 30 to 45 days post-order for institutional consumers.
