UNSPSC 50336308: Dried organic zwolle seedling rhubarb

The variety of organic rhubarb known as organic zwolle seedling rhubarb that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50336308 Dried organic zwolle seedling rhubarb is a Commodity code that in practice covers a narrow range of dried or specialty produce items procured by state and local school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying fresh produce, frozen food products, and dried commodities—including prunes and specialty vegetables—to stock cafeterias and nutrition centers serving student populations and incarcerated individuals. The code's nominal specificity (dried organic rhubarb) does not align closely with the breadth of actual procurement activity; issuing bodies are instead using it to tag broader food-commodity buys that span fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees. Scope centers on contracted supply of cafeteria-ready food items with firm pricing over multi-year terms, compliance with Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content for processed goods), USDA grade certification, HACCP or nutritional documentation, and delivery to multiple facility locations on fixed schedules.

Issuing bodies are school districts and state agencies, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and state education procurement offices appearing as repeat buyers. Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas (TDCJ solicitations for cafeteria food products and prunes, with delivery across multiple TDCJ warehouse areas and correctional facilities), Georgia (state-level food-supplies bid in May 2026), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, June 2026), and Georgia (Hancock County Schools fresh-produce IFB, June 2026). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty produce for delivery to three school locations; the City of Bridgeport's commodities bid (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026) for 115 line items across eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and produce for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with MBE/CBE certification applicable; and the Texas Comptroller's IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for TDCJ cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and condiments, with delivery to six TDCJ distribution points and a response deadline extended to May 4, 2026.
