UNSPSC 50326305: Dried timperley early rhubarb

The variety of rhubarb known as timperley early rhubarb that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50326305 Dried timperley early rhubarb is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dried fruits and specialty produce items for institutional food service, though recent solicitations under this code show minimal direct purchasing activity for the specific product named. State and local governments soliciting under this code span school districts, state correctional systems, and county nutrition programs. The scope of work reflects institutional food service procurement across K-12 schools, state prison systems, and county detention facilities, where dried produce serves as a component of larger grocery and food-supply contracts. Issuing bodies include school district nutrition programs (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County and Savannah-Chatham County schools in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state procurement divisions sourcing for multiple agencies, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and county correctional facilities. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and the County of Santa Clara, California have also posted opportunities in this family.

The code shows active recent procurement across Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and California, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school districts. Representative recent opportunities include the County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, pecans) for correctional food services, due February 5, 2026, on an all-or-none five-year contract with firm pricing for Year 1 and optional escalation in Years 2-5; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's dried prunes procurement (Bid No. IW236532), due February 20, 2026; and the State of Georgia's broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (IFB PE55080NONST2027000000013), due June 26, 2026. Most activity reflects dried produce as a line item within larger master grocery or food-supply contracts rather than standalone dried-rhubarb-specific purchasing. School nutrition programs typically embed dried fruit items in annual fixed-price food contracts spanning 400-plus line items with firm pricing for twelve-month terms, delivery to multiple school sites, USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, and nutritional standards. Correctional facility procurement tends toward smaller item counts but larger annual volumes per line and long-term pricing structures with optional renewals.
