UNSPSC 50536310: Dried non GMO tilden rhubarb

The variety of non GMO rhubarb known as non GMO tilden rhubarb that has been dried for preservation. 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 50536310 Dried non GMO tilden rhubarb is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity tied directly to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span school nutrition, senior meal delivery, institutional food service, and general grocery procurement—categories that encompass produce, fresh items, and broad food products but show no documented solicitations specifically for dried non-GMO rhubarb or rhubarb products. State and local governments do purchase ingredients and finished food products through school nutrition programs, county and municipal food service contracts, and institutional meal procurement, but the specific dried-rhubarb commodity does not appear in the representative recent solicitations for fresh produce, packaged groceries, or prepared meals.

The issuing bodies across recent food procurement activity include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System), county and municipal departments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, City of Dallas), and state agencies (State of Georgia). Solicitations are primarily IFBs and RFPs for grocery items, fresh produce contracts, and meal delivery services, with response dates between late April and late June 2026. Activity is concentrated in Georgia and Florida, with activity also in Connecticut, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia. The code's apparent mismatch with the actual scope of recent opportunities—no solicitation names dried rhubarb or rhubarb-specific items—suggests either a misclassification in the source data or limited current market demand for this commodity at the state and local level.
