UNSPSC 50616001: Canned or jarred Non GMO dock sorrel

The variety of Non GMO sorrel known as Non GMO dock sorrel that has been canned or jarred 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 50616001 Canned or jarred Non-GMO dock sorrel, a Commodity code, sees virtually no recent state and local procurement activity. The single posted opportunity naming this code does not align with the product category—the Illinois Veterans Home Quincy quarterly food order (solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026, RFQ) requests 24 line items including proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and condiments, with no mention of dock sorrel or specialty preserved vegetables. The recent opportunities block contains no other solicitations specifically tagged to this code.

State and local food procurement activity instead clusters heavily around broader commodity categories: school district nutrition programs, state hospital and supported living center food service, and corrections department supply chains routinely solicit canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, prepared entrees, dairy, and staple grocery items through IFB and RFP notices across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. School nutrition programs, corrections departments, and health and human services facilities dominate the issuing-body mix. The Commodity code 50616001 does not appear to map to work actually being bought at the state and local level in recent procurement records, signaling either minimal market demand for canned dock sorrel products in institutional food service or a classification mismatch in how opportunities are tagged.
