UNSPSC 50316306: Organic valentine rhubarb

The variety of organic rhubarb known as organic valentine rhubarb

UNSPSC 50316306 Organic valentine rhubarb is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve rhubarb or rhubarb products. Instead, the tagged solicitations address fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs—bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, apples, berries, and other commodity items typical of institutional food service. The code's nominal scope (organic specialty rhubarb) and the work actually being solicited under it (broad fresh produce supply to schools) do not align, suggesting either a data-classification issue or that this particular code sees minimal state and local procurement activity at present.

School nutrition procurement activity across Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin school districts in the first half of 2026 has concentrated on fresh produce supply contracts through RFP, RFQ, and IFB notices, with issuing bodies including school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Douglas County), Hillsborough County Public Schools, and a state-level procurement through Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, with estimated annual contract value of $78,000) and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST for fresh fruit and vegetable program delivery to 18 elementary schools under USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grant funding (proposals due March 11, 2026, estimated budget $600,000). These procurements emphasize domestic sourcing preferences, GAP or HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, weekly delivery schedules, quality specifications tied to USDA standards, and multi-year renewable contract structures. Pursuing vendors in this sector should focus on school districts in Georgia and surrounding states where multiple concurrent opportunities appear each quarter.
