UNSPSC 50366303: Canned or jarred glaskin's perpetual rhubarb

The variety of rhubarb known as glaskin's perpetual rhubarb that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50366303 Canned or jarred glaskin's perpetual rhubarb is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products—applesauce, dried fruit bars, and mixed produce items—procured by state and local food service operations for schools, correctional facilities, senior centers, and state-supported living centers. The code appears in procurement activity spanning school districts, county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health services, county senior services departments, and municipal school nutrition programs. State and local buyers solicit these items under IFB, ITB, and RFP methods, typically as part of broader food-service or nutrition contracts that include dozens to hundreds of line items. Specifications often reference USDA commodity standards, require domestic content compliance under Buy American provisions (particularly in school lunch contexts), and mandate delivery to central warehouses or distribution centers on FOB destination terms with firm fixed pricing.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with notable activity from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Board of Education, State of Georgia), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections issuing two ITBs for canned applesauce in May and July 2026), Texas (TDCJ, HHSC), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and school districts including Austin Independent School District. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, offering a combined 10 percent state preference for Oregon goods and processors; and Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026. Historical pricing for canned applesauce ranges from $21.827 to $21.84 per case based on Oregon ODOC awards. No significant federal set-asides or disadvantaged-enterprise preferences appear in the recent opportunities, though MBE/CBE designations apply in Bridgeport and Buy American domestic-content minimums (51 percent for processed products) feature prominently in school nutrition solicitations.
