UNSPSC 50376302 Canned or jarred organic early champagne rhubarb is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy primarily as shelf-stable food products for institutional food service — cafeterias, nutrition centers, correctional facilities, veterans' homes, and senior services. Recent solicitations under this and closely related canned-fruit codes show state and local buyers purchasing canned applesauce, fruit products, and broad commodity food baskets in bulk for distribution to multiple facility locations. The issuing-body mix spans state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education and commissioners, independent school districts, municipal nutrition centers, and state-supported living centers. Counties and states are the most frequent buyers on the recent record; Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Connecticut, Oregon, and Ohio appear across multiple active opportunities.

The geographic center of activity includes the South (Georgia, Texas, Florida) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in the Midwest (Illinois, Ohio) and Northeast (Connecticut). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce via ITB with bids due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case historical pricing; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services seeking supplemental food and consumables (210 line items, fresh through frozen products) for state hospitals and supported living centers, with bids due March 19, 2026, and a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products (proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, canned vegetables and fruits) via IFB due May 4, 2026; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables via informal written quote with quotes due October 19, 2026.
