UNSPSC 50456000: Frozen organic sorrels

The type of organic vegetable known as organic sorrels that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50456000 Frozen organic sorrels is a Class code that does not align with the actual work being solicited by state and local governments in recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a single specialty produce item—frozen organic sorrels—yet the recent-opportunities block shows no relevant solicitations for that commodity. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span broad food service procurement for school nutrition programs and state operations, encompassing fresh produce, frozen foods, groceries, dairy, meats, poultry, seafood, grains, condiments, and miscellaneous food items. The mismatch between the code's narrow nominal scope and the expansive food-service purchasing activity tagged to it suggests either a cataloging inconsistency in the source system or that this code is being misapplied to general food procurement opportunities that belong under different UNSPSC classifications. State and local food service buyers—primarily school districts, state procurement offices, and regional cooperatives—are the issuing bodies, but they are not sourcing frozen organic sorrels specifically; they are conducting line-by-line food and supply bids for child nutrition programs and institutional food service operations.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Missouri, with additional opportunities in Texas. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas) have all posted RFPs or IFBs since late January 2026. The Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district cooperative purchasing vehicle with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, due March 4, 2026. Early County Board of Education released a line-by-line food bid (RFP) covering 300+ food items plus non-food supplies, due June 8, 2026, with milk deliveries and domestic sourcing preferences emphasized. The State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and kitchen products bid (IFB) due June 22, 2026. Given the code's mismatch to the actual procurement activity, this classification warrants review for correction or reassignment to broader food-service commodity codes.
