UNSPSC 50386805: Timperley early rhubarb purees

The variety of rhubarb known as timperley early rhubarb which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386805 Timperley early rhubarb purees is a Commodity code with little recent relevant activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specialized rhubarb product, but the recent opportunities associated with it reflect broader food service procurement across applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, canned goods, and other food products supplied to corrections facilities, schools, state agencies, and institutional service providers. The work solicited under this code does not align consistently with the narrow commodity name, suggesting a classification mismatch in how issuing bodies have tagged their food service opportunities.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code span school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Douglas County School System), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via Comptroller), and county institutional facilities (Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). Recent solicitations from school districts dominate the opportunity stream, particularly in Georgia and Texas, with school nutrition programs issuing ITBs and RFPs for annual food supply contracts covering produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared items. Texas and Georgia show the highest recent activity, followed by Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, bids due July 31, 2026); Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, estimated historical value $1.5 million); and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts (estimated $4.4 million for Area One, due March 4, 2026). School nutrition contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 on firm fixed pricing, require Buy American compliance, impose $1 million to $2 million general liability insurance minimums, and award on lowest responsive and responsible bid or best value criteria.
