UNSPSC 50396404: Organic sutton rhubarb purees

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

UNSPSC 50396404 Organic sutton rhubarb purees is a Commodity code with little recent activity aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code are primarily canned and fresh fruit purchases, dried fruit bars, and broader food-service procurement—applesauce, fresh produce, eggs, and miscellaneous grocery items—rather than rhubarb purees or organic specialty items. The code shows a sharp mismatch between its stated name and what state and local governments are actually sourcing under it in current solicitations.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities block span diverse state and local jurisdictions: the Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County), Connecticut municipalities, and large school districts including Dallas ISD and Fairfax County Public Schools. The geographic spread covers Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; the State of Illinois quarterly food-order solicitation due June 17, 2026; and the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products supporting state-supported living centers, due July 13, 2026. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, seeking multi-hundred-line-item fresh-produce contracts with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, and delivery to central warehouses or individual school sites. None of the recent opportunities explicitly solicits rhubarb purees or organic-specific produce items, suggesting this code either sees minimal procurement activity or is regularly misapplied in state and local tagging practice.
