UNSPSC 50386800: Rhubarb purees

The type of fruit known as rhubarb which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386800 Rhubarb purees is a Class code that does not reflect the scope of food products state and local governments are actually procuring under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span broad food service supply categories including fresh produce, canned and frozen fruits, proteins, dairy products, baked goods, condiments, and consumable kitchen supplies for schools, corrections facilities, social service agencies, and state-supported living centers. The code's nominal scope—rhubarb purees specifically—does not match the range of shelf-stable and fresh food items being solicited, and no recent opportunities target rhubarb purees as a named product line. The issuing bodies include state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), county boards of education and commissioners (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), and municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). Food service procurement for corrections, state-supported living centers, and school nutrition programs appears to drive the largest volume of activity under this code family.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and regions. Georgia shows repeat activity through Gwinnett County (October 2026 IWQ for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education (June 2026 IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce across a school year contract). Illinois Chief Procurement Office has issued multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal solicitations for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (August 2026 proposals due August 24, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited canned applesauce in two separate ITBs (July 2026 ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases due July 31, 2026, and May 2026 ITB for 1,904 cases due June 2, 2026), applying 10 percent Oregon vendor preference. Texas shows significant activity through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five TDCJ warehouse areas, extended to May 4, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, and IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables statewide due March 19, 2026 with a maximum three-year contract value of $4.5 million), and Austin Independent School District (RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026). Connecticut's City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (BID BNB053266 for 115 line items due June 26, 2026 with Buy American compliance required).
