UNSPSC 50311805: Organic korean barberries

The variety of organic barberries known as organic korean barberries

UNSPSC 50311805 Organic Korean Barberries, a Commodity code, shows no recent state or local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope; the single recent opportunity tagged under this code solicits petite bananas, not organic Korean barberries or any barberry product.

State and local school nutrition programs dominate the recent opportunities in this code classification, but the work being procured diverges sharply from the code name. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) posted RFBs in July 2026 for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), and multiple other Georgia school districts issued IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive fresh produce procurement spanning dozens of line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root crops, melons, citrus, and leafy greens. The State of Georgia also posted a general food and kitchen supplies bid in May 2026. None of the recent opportunities explicitly name organic barberries or specialty Asian produce varieties. The code appears to have been applied to a broader fresh produce category, likely in error or as a catch-all classification by procurement offices using UNSPSC taxonomy.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, with six school districts and county boards posting produce solicitations between February and July 2026 (Douglas County School System, Glynn County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County, and Bartow County). Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida also show recent school nutrition produce procurement. Evaluation structures across these opportunities emphasize lowest responsive and responsible bidder pricing (often with line-item awards to multiple vendors), product quality and freshness, on-time weekly delivery, compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, and for some districts, local or regional sourcing preferences. Bidders commonly face insurance requirements of $1 million to $2 million general liability, E-Verify compliance, debarment certification, and affirmative action documentation. The code currently signals little decision relevance for vendors seeking to pursue organic barberry supply contracts at the state and local level.
