UNSPSC 50456001: Frozen organic dock sorrel

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

UNSPSC 50456001 Frozen organic dock sorrel is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single specialty produce item, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code actually encompass broad food-service procurement across frozen and fresh produce, dairy, grains, proteins, and ancillary kitchen supplies for school nutrition programs, state food services, and institutional cafeterias. The issuing bodies include state agencies (Georgia Department of Education operations), independent school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple districts. The recent opportunities show a clear pattern: school districts and state agencies are soliciting food service vendors to supply comprehensive meal-program inventories on annual or multi-year contracts, with line-item or lot-based awards to single or multiple vendors, firm pricing for the contract term, strict HACCP and food safety compliance, domestic sourcing and Buy American preferences, and delivery to central warehouses or individual school sites. The scope divergence between the code name and actual procurement suggests this code is being applied as a catch-all for food-service commodity groups rather than as a marker for specialty organic sorrel specifically.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas. Georgia shows the most sustained volume: the State of Georgia issued a general food and supplies IFB (due June 22, 2026), the Georgia Department of Education cooperative GEC Buying Cooperative solicited fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 to $1.1 million per area (RFP due March 4, 2026), Douglas County School System issued separate RFPs for fresh produce and eggs and food supply distribution services (deadlines February 18 and March 4, 2026, respectively), City Schools of Decatur solicited frozen foods and grocery items (IFB due May 15, 2026), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System procured fresh produce under an annual contract (bids due April 23, 2026). In Missouri, Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services sought grocery items across over 900 line items with electronic submissions due April 29, 2026. Dallas Independent School District in Texas posted an RFP for various food products and specialty items not covered by main commodity bids, due April 2, 2026. Contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, all pricing is firm for the contract period, and awards are made on lowest responsive and responsible basis, often to multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
