UNSPSC 50606004: Frozen Non GMO wood sorrel

The variety of Non GMO sorrel known as Non GMO wood sorrel that has been frozen 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 50606004 Frozen Non GMO wood sorrel, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the database. The code nominally refers to a specialized produce item, but the recent opportunities tagged under this code solicitate for broad school nutrition food service procurement — frozen and fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and grocery staples — with no mention of wood sorrel specifically. School districts and state agencies are procuring comprehensive meal-service inventories across multiple product categories, not isolated specialty vegetables. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual purchasing activity suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that wood sorrel falls within a larger frozen-produce procurement that the issuing bodies have not granularly distinguished at the commodity level.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri school districts and state agencies. The Georgia Department of Education has posted multiple produce and food supply RFPs (Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food distribution and RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs, due February 18 and March 4, 2026 respectively; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34 for fresh produce due April 23, 2026; City Schools of Decatur IFB for frozen foods due May 15, 2026; Early County Board of Education food bid due June 8, 2026). The State of Georgia issued Invitation for Bid #4 2027-2026 for fresh produce due May 27, 2026, and a general food and kitchen products procurement due June 22, 2026. The Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri solicited grocery items over 900 line items due April 29, 2026. Dallas Independent School District in Texas issued a Request for Proposal for various food products due April 2, 2026. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options; pricing must include delivery to school sites and remain firm for the contract term or fixed periods, with escalation clauses tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index documentation.
