UNSPSC 50326301: Dried crimson red rhubarb

The variety of rhubarb known as crimson red rhubarb that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50326301 Dried crimson red rhubarb is a Commodity code that encompasses procurement of dried rhubarb and related dried fruit and vegetable products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show limited direct activity specific to dried rhubarb itself. School districts, county boards of education, state departments, and correctional agencies solicit under codes in this family to source fresh and processed produce for cafeteria operations, nutrition centers, and institutional kitchens. The Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases (IFB BNB053266, due June 26, 2026) both issued major produce and food-commodity bids covering 200+ and 115 line items respectively, spanning fresh fruits, vegetables, proteins, and dairy products under Buy American requirements mandating minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed items. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and the State of Georgia also posted food-commodity solicitations in the May–June 2026 window. Vendors responding to these opportunities must provide HACCP plans, USDA compliance documentation, nutritional analyses, proof of state health inspection records, and comprehensive insurance; delivery terms typically require FOB destination to multiple institutional locations with firm pricing for the contract term.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut, with school nutrition and correctional food service as the primary end-use sectors. The Hancock County (Georgia) IFB and Bridgeport (Connecticut) IFB both closed or approached closure in late June 2026 with delivery periods spanning the 2026–27 school or fiscal year. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) covered approximately 382 line items for TDCJ warehouse distribution across five Texas regions, and a separate TDCJ procurement (Bid IW236532) sought whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality (1,400-box minimum order to Corpus Christi location, due date February 20, 2026). The State of Georgia's May 15, 2026 solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009 for food supplies and kitchen products (due June 22, 2026) provided limited scope detail in publicly available summaries. None of the recent opportunities explicitly name dried crimson red rhubarb as a line item; the code appears to capture a narrow specialty dried-produce segment within a broader institutional food-service procurement environment dominated by fresh produce, proteins, and staple canned or frozen goods.
