UNSPSC 50456002: Frozen organic garden sorrel

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

UNSPSC 50456002 Frozen organic garden sorrel is a Commodity code that nominally names a single frozen vegetable product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no solicitations directly aligned with frozen sorrel procurement. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code instead address broad food service procurement — primarily fresh produce, frozen and grocery items, and comprehensive food product supply for school nutrition programs and state operations. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with activity from the Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, and Douglas County School System. The State of Georgia has also posted solicitations for fresh produce and food supplies. The wide scope of these opportunities — spanning fresh and frozen vegetables, fruits, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and non-food supplies — suggests the code may be catching broadly framed food procurement RFPs rather than frozen sorrel specifically.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with a secondary presence in Texas. Recent representative solicitations include the Early County Board of Education (RFP, due June 8, 2026) seeking line-by-line bids for 300+ food items supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, the City Schools of Decatur (IFB, due May 15, 2026) for frozen foods and grocery items across ten schools, the Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County (electronic IFB, due April 29, 2026) for over 900 grocery line items serving approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants daily, and the Douglas County School System (RFP, due March 4, 2026) through the GEC Buying Cooperative seeking fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. All solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, food safety documentation, liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million minimums), E-Verify authorization, and delivery to multiple school sites or designated warehouses during school operating hours. School nutrition contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options. The code shows no recent activity specific to frozen sorrel as a standalone procurement item.
