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, a Commodity code, shows limited recent activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code predominantly feature school district and corrections facility food service procurement for fresh produce, prepared foods, and dried fruits — not dried rhubarb specifically. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited over 200 fresh produce line items including apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and citrus under IFB #SN002-2027 due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's Department of Public Purchases requested commodities spanning eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center under IFB due June 26, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara, California issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans) to serve the Sheriff's Department Correction Food Services at Elmwood Correctional Facility, due February 5, 2026. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) alongside state-level procurement on behalf of corrections or food service operations (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia, County of Santa Clara).

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and the broader Southeast, with additional recent solicitations from Connecticut, California, Texas, and Missouri. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, with secondary activity from state departments and county corrections systems. The code appears misaligned with actual procurement — no recent opportunity specifically names dried rhubarb as a line item, and dried fruit categories present (raisins, cranberries, walnuts, pecans) are taxonomically distinct. Vendors pursuing this code should verify that state and local procurement offices are actually tagging dried rhubarb purchases under 50326301 before committing business development resources, as the recent opportunity stream suggests either low volume, misclassification, or reliance on standing master grocery agreements that do not surface as individual IFBs or RFPs.
