UNSPSC 50386810: Tilden rhubarb purees

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

UNSPSC 50386810 Tilden rhubarb purees is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations spans food products for institutional nutrition programs, including fresh produce, canned fruits, and dried fruit products for schools, corrections facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The code's scope as actually procured diverges significantly from its narrow nominal name — recent opportunities show state and local buyers using this classification for broad food supply categories that include applesauce, fresh produce spanning multiple varieties, dried fruit bars, and mixed food commodities rather than rhubarb purees specifically. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, city boards of education, and county senior services divisions. School districts and state corrections and health agencies dominate the recent activity, with multiple solicitations from the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest, with recent opportunities posted by Georgia (Gwinnett County and the State of Georgia), Illinois, Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, and Austin Independent School District), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and one additional county in an unspecified state (Hancock County Schools). Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (October 19, 2026, RFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (August 24, 2026, proposals for quarterly supply), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (July 31, 2026, approximately 4,760 cases at $21.84 historical per-case pricing), Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (July 16, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to the El Paso State Supported Living Center (July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million).
