UNSPSC 50321803: Dried red barberries

The variety of barberries known as red barberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50321803 Dried red barberries is a Commodity code encompassing specialty dried fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity specifically for dried red barberries; the code's nominal scope does not closely map to the predominant work actually being solicited in this data set. School districts, county boards of education, and correctional agencies post frequent IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce, dried fruits including raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit blends, nuts, and comprehensive grocery supply contracts, but dried red barberries do not appear as a line item in any of the representative recent opportunities captured here. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) sought dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix for the Elmwood Correctional Facility, and multiple school district RFPs and IFBs specify fresh produce, eggs, and broad grocery categories, but none name dried red barberries as a solicited item.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary presence in California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Georgia school districts—Hancock County Schools (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education (IFB due April 29, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System (RFPs 26-003 and 26-004)—anchor the state and local buyer base, alongside the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026, and Bid IW236532 for dried prunes). The code shows little relevant recent activity; state and local procurement under 50321803 does not surface in this opportunity set, and dried red barberries specifically remain unsolicited across school nutrition, correctional, and municipal food service contexts documented here.
