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 is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this item through broad grocery and food-service solicitations, though recent opportunities show little specific demand for dried non-GMO wood sorrel in isolation. The code sits within the larger framework of school nutrition programs, senior meals programs, institutional food service, and general grocery procurement for public bodies. Work under this code spans food items meeting USDA compliance, Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act standards, Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), and specialty dietary accommodations. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and other state procurement departments (Georgia).

Recent opportunities solicited across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida frame the broader scope: the City of Bridgeport posted IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items for school meals (response due June 30, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education posted IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning 200 line items (response due June 26, 2026); and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB-26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90 (response due June 25, 2026). The code shows no recent standalone solicitations specifically for dried wood sorrel; procurement activity clusters around comprehensive grocery aggregations, fresh produce contracts, and meal-service delivery rather than specialty herb or vegetable line items.
