The type of vegetable known as sorrels which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486000 Sorrel purees (Class) does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity identified under this code. The recent opportunities posted under this classification are general institutional food supply contracts for state agencies, school districts, and county governments—spanning fresh produce, frozen proteins, dairy, canned goods, condiments, and food service consumables for cafeterias, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, and senior nutrition programs. The code's nominal name (sorrel purees) bears no relationship to the diversified food procurement being tagged under it in live solicitations, indicating either a data-entry error in the source system or systematic miscoding at the point of posting.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumable products serving state supported living centers (HHS0018082 for Lufkin, HHS0017449 for El Paso, and HHS0016792v2 for statewide hospitals and facilities); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division issued IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse regions. Gwinnett County (Georgia) posted IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable items on October 19, 2026. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) each solicited comprehensive food bids covering multiple schools. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) with a prior purchase reference of $13.75 per case. The State of Illinois solicited quarterly weekly food orders (FY-27 IVHQ, due June 26, 2026). Most awards are made on an IFB or IWQ basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; delivery terms typically require FOB Destination with freight prepaid and included in pricing, and response dates range from seven to twenty days.
