UNSPSC 50356309: Frozen organic macdonald rhubarb

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

UNSPSC 50356309 Frozen organic macdonald rhubarb, a Commodity code, shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span broad grocery and food service procurement across school districts, cities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles — including fresh produce, frozen foods, general grocery items, eggs, and full food supply and distribution services — but do not isolate or specifically solicit frozen rhubarb products. The code's abstract specification does not match the actual buying patterns reflected in the posted solicitations, which are driven by school nutrition programs' need for comprehensive foodservice ingredients across multiple categories to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program.

The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and school systems (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), with one state-level procurement from Georgia and one city-level request from Bridgeport, Connecticut. Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Connecticut, with a single Missouri solicitation. Representative recent opportunities include Bridgeport's IFB for grocery items spanning 1,100+ line items with response due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering 200+ items with response due June 26, 2026; and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated spending of $4.4 million for Area One, due March 4, 2026. None of these solicitations target frozen rhubarb as a distinct product line or emphasize specialty frozen organic items at the commodity level.
