UNSPSC 50386804: Sutton rhubarb purees

The variety of rhubarb known as sutton rhubarb which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386804 Sutton rhubarb purees (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's specific scope—specialty fruit purees—does not match the work actually being solicited under this designation. Recent opportunities posted against this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, canned fruit, supplemental food and consumables for state facilities, cafeteria food products, and school nutrition grocery and fresh-produce contracts. These solicitations address broad food service supply, not rhubarb purees in particular. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Dallas ISD, FCPS), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, TDCJ), and state procurement offices (Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia, Douglas County School System), spanning multiple jurisdictions and facility types. The opportunities show strong activity in the South and across Texas, with additional postings in Oregon, Connecticut, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia.

Representative recent procurements include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, delivery by July 31, 2026, with a 10% Oregon goods and vendor preference), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with historical value of $1.5 million annually and contract term through August 31, 2027 with one renewal option), Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce covering over 200 line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district cooperative buying group with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (proposals due March 4, 2026). The code itself shows no recent activity specific to rhubarb purees, indicating either misclassification of solicitations or limited current-market demand for that commodity line.
