UNSPSC 50596004: Dried Non GMO wood sorrel

The variety of Non GMO sorrel known as Non GMO wood sorrel that has been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50596004 Dried Non GMO wood sorrel, a Commodity code, shows negligible recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—dehydrated wood sorrel as a standalone ingredient—does not align with the grocery and meal-service opportunities posted under it in 2026, which target large-scale food procurement for school districts, county health and human services agencies, and municipal meal programs.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code span school nutrition programs, senior meal delivery, and institutional food service across multiple states. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases is soliciting grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department under IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026, covering over 1,100 line items including breakfast, cereals, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, and dairy under Buy American and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act compliance. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually. School nutrition procurements in Georgia—Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County—and school districts in Virginia (Fairfax County), Connecticut (Meriden), and Georgia (Douglas County serving 30 districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative) all issued fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive grocery contracts with annual values ranging from approximately $1.1 million to $9 million. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida solicited senior meal preparation and delivery services, ITB 26-00289, with an estimated three-year value of $17.8 million. These opportunities reflect institutional food sourcing—not specialty dried botanicals—across the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions. The code's assignment to these solicitations appears taxonomically incorrect; state and local procurement activity under UNSPSC 50596004 itself remains undetectable in the current dataset.
