UNSPSC 50526306: Non GMO valentine rhubarb

The variety of non GMO rhubarb known as non GMO valentine rhubarb. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50526306 Non GMO valentine rhubarb is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for this product. The code shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity; the two opportunities posted under it—Madison Metropolitan School District's bids for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026)—are unrelated to rhubarb and fall outside the code's stated scope. The remaining opportunities in the block cover institutional produce procurement across school districts in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, but none target rhubarb specifically or reference the non-GMO valentine variety.

School nutrition programs dominate the activity block, with districts in Hancock County (Georgia), Bartow County (Georgia), Bulloch County (Georgia), Liberty County (Georgia), Muscogee County (Georgia), Glynn County (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia), McAllen (Texas), Austin (Texas), and Douglas County (Georgia) all issuing RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and IFBs for fresh produce in the 2026–2027 fiscal year. These solicitations emphasize multi-item commodity bundles—bananas, apples, vegetables, berries, and leafy greens—at scale, with annual contract values reaching $4.4 million (Douglas County GEC Cooperative, Area One) and delivery frequencies from weekly to twice weekly across multiple school sites. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. The code itself does not reflect the institutional produce purchasing that state and local governments are actually conducting; procurement activity under related broader commodity families likely captures the work being bought.
