UNSPSC 50306304: Sutton rhubarb

The variety of rhubarb known as sutton rhubarb

UNSPSC 50306304 Sutton rhubarb, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The available solicitation records tagged under this code document fresh produce procurement across multiple categories—bananas, mixed fruits and vegetables, and comprehensive grocery items for school nutrition, corrections, mental health facilities, senior services, and child care programs—but none specifically reference rhubarb or Sutton-variety produce. The code's nominal scope and actual buying patterns show a material divergence, suggesting either a cataloging error in the posted opportunities or minimal current demand for this specific commodity line.

State and local solicitation activity under produce procurement spans school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Bartow County School System, Dougherty County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, DeSoto County School District), corrections and mental health departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county governments (Collier County), municipal agencies (City of Bridgeport, City of San Antonio, City of Edinburg), and specialized health and care organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Florida, Connecticut, and Mississippi. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts for multiple warehouse locations (IFB responses due October 14–19, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District's petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks bids under RFB 4162 and 4163 (due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB for the 2026–27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026); and the Illinois Department of Corrections' bi-weekly fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under small-business set-aside (quotes due September 3, 2026). Geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast and South, with active solicitation in Texas, Georgia, and neighboring states. Without specific market activity under the Sutton rhubarb code itself, pursuit viability cannot be assessed from this data.
