UNSPSC 50495900: Organic sorrel purees

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

UNSPSC 50495900 Organic sorrel purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect procurement of sorrel purees or any narrowly specialized produce item. Instead, the opportunities indexed under this code document school districts, state health agencies, and correctional departments soliciting broad food service contracts—weekly grocery deliveries, quarterly food supplies, fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees for cafeterias, nutrition programs, and state institutions. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work posted suggests that state and local procurement systems are applying this Commodity code to general food supply categories that do not fit its specific product definition. School districts dominate the recent activity: Fairfax County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and Rockwood R-VI School District have all posted food procurement notices within the past four months. State health and human services agencies in Texas and Illinois, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Georgia Department of Education round out the issuing bodies. These jurisdictions treat food procurement as demand-driven, recurring annual or multi-year contracts with firm pricing and seasonal or monthly renewal cycles.

Recent opportunities concentrate in the South and Pacific Northwest. Georgia leads with six distinct school district notices (Ben Hill, Burke, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County) plus a state-level fresh produce solicitation, all posted between late March and late June 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted two statewide supplemental food and consumable procurements (HHS0017449 and HHS0016792, with responses due July 13, 2026, and February 23, 2026, respectively) covering state hospitals and supported living centers. Oregon Department of Corrections issued three ITBs for specific canned goods (tomato paste and canned tomatoes, with closing dates in March and February 2026). Virginia's Fairfax County Public Schools solicited a Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323) due April 27, 2026, covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens. Missouri's Rockwood R-VI School District posted two parallel grocery procurements (both due April 29, 2026) for approximately 200 NOI line items and over 900 grocery items. Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy issued an RFQ for quarterly weekly food orders (due February 24, 2026 and June 26, 2026). These contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with firm fixed pricing for initial terms, options to renew for one to four additional years, and payment within 30 days of delivery. The Douglas County School System cooperative procurement targets approximately $5.5 million in combined fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts (RFP due March 4, 2026). No protectable set-asides are identified in the source materials, and awards consistently go to lowest responsive, responsible bidders meeting specification compliance and delivery performance standards.
