UNSPSC 50301805: Korean barberries

The variety of barberries known as korean barberries

UNSPSC 50301805 Korean barberries is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely solicit Korean barberries directly; the recent opportunities posted under this code span fresh produce and food service supply contracts for institutional buyers—correctional facilities, mental health centers, schools, senior centers, and parks—where fresh fruits and vegetables, including Korean barberries where called for in recipes or specifications, are components of broader food procurement rather than line items selected for barberries specifically. The issuing bodies are diverse: state departments of criminal justice and mental health, county boards of education, city departments of human services, school districts, and regional food service authorities. Contract scopes typically bundle produce into larger food supply arrangements, with pricing and delivery varying by institution. The work involves weekly or bi-weekly deliveries of fresh produce meeting USDA quality standards, food safety compliance, and nutritional or regulatory requirements tied to child nutrition programs, correctional diets, or senior meal services.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Florida. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh produce solicitations (IW267376 for Palestine, IW267420 for Snyder Food Warehouse, IW267411 for Wynne Food Warehouse) with October 2026 deadlines. Georgia school districts—Bryan County, Dougherty County, Early County, Hancock County, and Bartow County—issued produce bids in May and June 2026 for school-year contracts running July 2026 through June 2027. The Illinois Department of Corrections (Joliet Treatment Center, RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849) and Illinois Department of Mental Health (Madden Mental Health Center, 27444DHSMENTHB53608) sought fresh produce with small business set-asides in August and September 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issued RFBs for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (July 2026), while the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) solicited 1,100+ line-item grocery packages and the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (March 2025 deadline). The code shows consistent but fragmented demand across institutional food service, with no single dominant buyer and contract values typically under $100,000 annually at the commodity level.
