UNSPSC 50396405: Organic timperley early rhubarb purees

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

UNSPSC 50396405 Organic Timperley Early Rhubarb Purees (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span canned and fresh fruit procurement — applesauce, pears, fresh produce, and mixed food products for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and health and human services institutions — rather than specialty organic rhubarb purees. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple districts in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Virginia soliciting fresh produce, grocery items, and food products for child nutrition services; state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, and boards of education also appear regularly. The code shows active, broad procurement but with a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the commodities state and local agencies are actually buying.

Geographic concentration spans Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD), Georgia (multiple school districts including Savannah-Chatham, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, Hancock County), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), and Illinois (state procurement office). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case); Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually (due July 11, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 supply to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026); and Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty items (due June 26, 2026). The activity is consistent and substantial across education, corrections, and health and human services; the code appears to be functioning as a catch-all for produce and food commodity procurement rather than as a specific rhubarb-focused category.
