UNSPSC 50346310: Frozen tilden rhubarb

The variety of rhubarb known as tilden rhubarb that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50346310 Frozen tilden rhubarb, a Commodity code, does not map to the state and local procurement activity reflected in the recent-opportunities block. The opportunities posted under this code span comprehensive school nutrition programs, state institutional food service, and corrections facility provisioning — encompassing fresh produce, frozen vegetables, meats, dairy, pantry staples, ice cream, dried fruits, and consumable supplies — rather than a single frozen fruit product. The code designation appears misaligned with the actual scope of work being solicited.

State and local purchasing offices across school districts, state health and human services agencies, and county corrections systems are the primary issuing bodies. School food authorities dominate the recent activity: Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Henry County Schools, Fulton County Schools, and Douglas County School System have all posted solicitations between January and July 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for state hospital and state supported living center provisions. Georgia represents the heaviest concentration of recent postings, with secondary activity in Texas, Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting bids under IFB HHS0017660 for groceries spanning proteins, prepared foods, dairy, and pantry staples for Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026); the City of Bridgeport Board of Education seeking bids for over 1,100 line items of breakfast items, frozen products, vegetables, and meat products under IFB BNB052266 (due June 30, 2026); and Head Start of Greater Dallas soliciting bids for frozen foods, produce, and meat to support child care programs under IFB 26-GP, estimated at $969,460.94 (due June 24, 2026). The code exhibits substantial recent state and local procurement volume, though the commodity classification does not reflect the breadth of food service categories actually being purchased.
