UNSPSC 50566201: Non GMO crimson red rhubarb purees

The variety of non GMO rhubarbs known as non GMO crimson red rhubarbs which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50566201 Non GMO crimson red rhubarb purees is a Commodity code that in practice covers a narrow range of specialized fruit and vegetable products for institutional food service. State and local governments procuring under this code are soliciting fresh and processed produce items—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and food consumables—for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, health and human services institutions, and other public food service operations. The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and municipal nutrition centers (City of Bridgeport). School districts represent the largest and most active segment, with multiple districts procuring annually under cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative. Food service requirements typically include strict compliance with Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items), USDA grade standards, nutritional specifications limiting sodium and added sugars, and exclusions of artificial colors and flavors per state legislation such as Texas HB 314.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB for canned fruit applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026) and has posted prior solicitations on the same product; Hancock County Schools solicited fresh produce in a 2026-27 IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million and has posted multiple rounds; Douglas County School System in Georgia coordinated a multi-district RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026) covering 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across both geographic areas; Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools issued an annual fresh-produce bid (BID2634, due April 23, 2026); and Dallas ISD posted an RFP for various food products not available through main commodity bids (JC250079, due April 2, 2026). Insurance requirements are standard across jurisdictions ($1 million to $2 million commercial general liability), and contracts typically run one school or fiscal year with renewal options. Pricing is submitted as firm and fixed for the contract period, and awards generally go to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or to multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
