UNSPSC 50376300: Canned or jarred organic rhubarb

The type of organic fruit known as organic rhubarb that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50376300 Canned or jarred organic rhubarb is a Class code that in practice spans a broader range of shelf-stable and fresh fruit and vegetable products procured for institutional food service, particularly by corrections agencies, health and human services departments, school districts, and county social service operations. State and local buyers under this code are soliciting canned and frozen fruits (applesauce, mixed berries, citrus), fresh produce by the case (apples, leafy greens, root vegetables, melons), dried fruit products (fruit bars and apple crisps), and commodity-grade food and consumable supplies for cafeterias, nutrition centers, and food service operations. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health and human services, county boards of education and boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and municipal purchasing offices. The State of Illinois has posted multiple opportunities for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy; Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited canned applesauce in recent rounds; and Texas agencies—the Health and Human Services Commission, the Comptroller's office on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, and the Department of State Health Services—have posted large-volume food and consumables procurements.

Recent activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, and other states. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce, due July 31, 2026, with a historical unit price of $21.84 per case and a five percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals statewide (210 line items, due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years); the Texas Comptroller's IFB for cafeteria food products for the Department of Criminal Justice (382 line items, due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces, due October 19, 2026; and Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026. School nutrition programs and corrections agencies are driving volume; buy-American provisions and domestic-content minimums appear consistently in school district and state health service solicitations.
