UNSPSC 50321800: Dried barberries

The type of fruit known as barberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50321800 Dried barberries is a Class code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity recorded under it. The available solicitations show school districts, counties, and state agencies purchasing fresh produce, whole dried fruits (prunes, raisins, cranberries), nuts, and broad-based grocery and food service contracts—none of which specifically call for dried barberries. The code designation appears misaligned with actual buying patterns, suggesting either a data-entry error in the UNSPSC tagging or minimal current market activity for this commodity in state and local procurement.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities span school nutrition programs (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Douglas County School System in Georgia), municipal departments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), state criminal-justice food services (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state agencies (State of Georgia), and county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County, California). School districts dominate the activity, reflecting the primary market for food procurement under related codes. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and California, with secondary activity in Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce (response due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items for the 2026-27 school year, Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, and Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts (due February 5, 2026) for correctional-facility food services. Because the code nominally addresses dried barberries but the recorded opportunities do not include barberries in their scope, this code shows little actionable recent activity for barberry vendors.
