UNSPSC 50356304: Frozen organic sutton rhubarb

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

UNSPSC 50356304 Frozen organic sutton rhubarb (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The source identifies nine recent school district, city, and state food-service solicitations spanning June 2026 back to January 2026, but none specifically requests frozen organic sutton rhubarb. The opportunities center on broad-based school nutrition procurement—grocery items, fresh produce, eggs, frozen foods, and full-service food supply and distribution—where rhubarb appears, if at all, as one line item among hundreds in comprehensive produce or grocery bids. The issuing bodies are school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and one state agency (State of Georgia), all procuring to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. The code assignment appears to be either a data-entry error or an artifact of how rhubarb was tagged within a multi-thousand-line-item school nutrition bid rather than a signal of targeted demand for frozen organic sutton rhubarb.

The geographic footprint of recent activity is concentrated in Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), with secondary activity in Connecticut (Bridgeport) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), though the State of Georgia solicitation scope is not fully detailed. Representative opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items due June 26, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 cooperating districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for one geographic area, due March 4, 2026. School districts consistently require Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients), HACCP plans, E-Verify compliance, and firm pricing for the contract period (typically July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027), with delivery to central warehouses and individual school sites Monday through Friday. This code shows little relevant recent activity targeting frozen organic sutton rhubarb specifically.
