UNSPSC 50306309: Macdonald rhubarb

The variety of rhubarb known as macdonald rhubarb

UNSPSC 50306309 Macdonald rhubarb is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under recent state and local opportunities. The source contains no active solicitations for rhubarb or any other single produce variety matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, the recent opportunities block documents school districts, child care providers, senior services agencies, and correctional facilities procuring comprehensive fresh produce assortments, specialty fruits and vegetables, and bundled food service products that span dozens of line items across multiple produce categories—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and prepared produce items—rather than individual commodity ingredients. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code name and the actual procurement patterns in the source suggests this code is either inactive for state and local purchasing or systematically misapplied in vendor tagging.

School districts dominate the recent issuing-body mix, with procurement activity concentrated in Georgia (Bulloch County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, Henry County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Bartow County), Texas (Austin Independent School District, McAllen Independent School District, Edinburg, and Head Start of Greater Dallas), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), and other states including Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport, City of Meriden), Mississippi (DeSoto County School District), Oregon (Central Point School District), and California (County of Santa Clara). A cooperative purchasing vehicle—the GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia school districts—also issued a multi-district RFP for fresh produce and eggs in February 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 estimated annual value, due July 29, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages to 18 elementary FFVP sites (proposals due March 11, 2026, estimated $600,000 annual value), and the GEC Buying Cooperative's SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across two Georgia geographic areas (Area One: $4.4 million estimated annual spending; Area Two: $1.1 million; proposals due March 4, 2026).
