UNSPSC 50306306: Valentine rhubarb

The variety of rhubarb known as valentine rhubarb

UNSPSC 50306306 Valentine rhubarb, a Commodity code, does not appear in any substantive recent state and local procurement activity. The single opportunity posted under this code—the City of Edinburg, Texas, CACFP Meal Program RFP (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026)—lists rhubarb as a nominal tag but describes a five-category food and supply solicitation for 400 children ages 1–18 covering beverages, paper goods, food products (proteins, cheese, breads, fruits, vegetables, snacks), janitorial supplies, and nonfood items. The actual scope shows no specific rhubarb line item, specification, or quantity; rhubarb does not appear in the detailed procurement description. The remaining opportunities in the dataset tag produce, eggs, grocery items, and frozen foods under the code, but none reference Valentine rhubarb by name or specification.

The mismatch between the code name and the work actually being procured signals that state and local buyers are not actively sourcing this commodity through UNSPSC-tagged solicitations at present. If rhubarb supply is being purchased by school districts, municipalities, or social-service agencies, it is being acquired as a line item within broader produce or food-service contracts (typically under codes for fresh produce or grocery items) rather than as a standalone procurement. Vendors pursuing rhubarb sales to state and local nutrition programs should monitor fresh-produce and school-food RFPs across Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California, where the dataset shows the heaviest volume of K–12 food-service contracting, but should not expect rhubarb to be called out as a distinct commodity code in formal solicitations.
