UNSPSC 50336304 Dried organic sutton rhubarb is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers dried and specialty produce items supplied to school nutrition programs, state institutions, and correctional facilities. The two school district solicitations show direct alignment with the code's nominal scope — Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 seeking fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year with over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty items (kiwis, mangos, papayas, starfruit), due June 26, 2026; and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's Board of Education Nutrition Center solicitation (IFB BNB053266, due June 26, 2026) requested 115 line items across multiple produce and protein categories. The State of Georgia issued a parallel food, supplies, and other kitchen products IFB (due June 22, 2026) with scope details in an attached document. Issuing bodies include school districts and boards of education, state agencies, and cities on behalf of education nutrition programs. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) has also posted related food procurement, including a specific bid for whole pitted dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026) and a larger cafeteria food products IFB (No. 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21) covering 382 line items for warehouse distribution across five geographic areas.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. All school nutrition solicitations require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content for processed products), firm fixed pricing for the contract term, HACCP or USDA compliance documentation, and delivery to multiple designated school sites. School districts reserve award discretion to single or multiple vendors and require proof of food safety certifications, E-Verify authorization, and insurance coverage. The TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB mandates FOB Destination delivery to six Texas distribution points with USDA grade certificates (Grade A or B) and specifies firm all-inclusive pricing incorporating shipping and fuel. Contract terms typically run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 for school year purchases or through August 31, 2027 for TDCJ procurement, with optional renewal periods. Buy American provisions and school nutrition set-asides apply broadly; MBE/CBE certifications are applicable under City of Bridgeport ordinance. No minority or disadvantaged business set-asides are identified in the TDCJ procurements.
