UNSPSC 50306307: Victoria rhubarb

The variety of rhubarb known as victoria rhubarb

UNSPSC 50306307 Victoria rhubarb is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the state and local procurement activity in the available record. The source contains no recent solicitations for rhubarb or rhubarb-specific produce. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged under this code are general fresh produce, fruit, and vegetable supply contracts—bananas, apples, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, berries, and mixed fresh-produce procurement for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, child care programs, and municipal food service operations. The code's nominal scope (a single produce line) does not align with the multi-item, commodity-basket procurements actually occurring in the marketplace.

State and local buyers issuing under this code span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County, Bartow County, DeSoto County, and Bridgeport Board of Education), state departments and facilities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice; Illinois Department of Corrections; Illinois Department of Mental Health), county and municipal governments (Collier County; City of San Antonio; City of Bridgeport), and specialized service providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). Geographically, recent activity clusters in Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice seeking fresh fruit and vegetables for food warehouses in Palestine and Snyder (IW267376 and IW267420, RFQ format, due October 19 and October 14, 2026 respectively); the Illinois Department of Corrections requesting fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, RFQ, due September 3, 2026, small business set-aside); Madison Metropolitan School District bidding petite bananas at an estimated contract value of $78,000 (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with local-sourcing and diverse-owned-business preferences (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026); and Bartow County School System seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables from farms within 400 miles (Request for Proposal 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026). The procurement activity demonstrates consistent demand for fresh produce supply and delivery to institutional food service operations, but the code's assignment to single-item rhubarb procurement does not reflect the actual buying patterns in the market.
