UNSPSC 50311804: Organic wintergreen barberries

The variety of organic barberries known as organic wintergreen barberries

UNSPSC 50311804 Organic wintergreen barberries, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specialized fruit item, but the most recent opportunities tagged under this code solicited petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, and general produce procurement for school nutrition programs—none of which are organic wintergreen barberries or functionally equivalent specialty fruit items. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being purchased suggests this code does not accurately reflect current institutional buying patterns for the product it nominally covers.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida are actively soliciting fresh produce for child nutrition and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs, but these solicitations target high-volume, mainstream items—apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, and prepared salads—rather than niche specialty fruits. Madison Metropolitan School District issued RFB 4162 for petite bananas (bids due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (bids due July 29, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa solicited fresh specialty fruits for FFVP delivery to 18 elementary schools (estimated annual budget $600,000); and Douglas County School System procured fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 districts across two Georgia regions (estimated annual spending $4.4 million Area One, $1.1 million Area Two). If pursuing specialty fruit distribution to institutional food service, this code does not signal an active market.
