UNSPSC 50366301: Canned or jarred crimson red rhubarb

The variety of rhubarb known as crimson red rhubarb that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50366301 Canned or jarred crimson red rhubarb is a Commodity code that sees modest state and local procurement activity focused on shelf-stable canned fruit products for institutional food service, particularly schools, corrections facilities, health and human services residential centers, and senior services programs. Recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code and related canned fruit line items reveal a pattern of bulk institutional purchasing across school nutrition programs, state department of corrections warehouses, health and human services agencies, and county senior services operations. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), municipal education agencies (Austin Independent School District, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), county senior services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state supported living centers. School districts and state corrections and health agencies are the primary repeat buyers, with procurement offices issuing bulk food RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs on annual or multi-year cycles aligned to fiscal-year budgets and contract renewal periods.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with secondary activity in other states. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including canned fruit for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services (due October 19, 2026), and the State of Illinois' recurring weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (proposals due August 24, 2026). Contracts typically run one to three years with firm-fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery terms, buy-American or domestic-preference provisions, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Brand-or-equivalent substitution is standard practice when permitted in the specification.
