UNSPSC 50321805: Dried korean barberries

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

UNSPSC 50321805 Dried Korean Barberries is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's focus on a specific dried fruit variety contrasts sharply with the actual opportunities posted under or near this classification, which center on broad fresh produce, dried fruits and nuts, and comprehensive food service procurement across multiple categories rather than barberries in particular. School districts, county boards of education, state departments, and correctional facilities are the primary issuing bodies, and their solicitations encompass apples, berries, vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, eggs, raisins, cranberries, walnuts, pecans, and prepared foods in bulk volumes—but dried Korean barberries do not appear as a line item or specification in any recent posting.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary presence in California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Recent representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (Georgia IFB, sealed bids due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 produce line items for July 2026–June 2027 delivery), the City of Bridgeport Connecticut Department of Public Purchases Commodities (Connecticut IFB, electronic submissions due June 26, 2026, covering eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Cafeteria Food Products (Texas IFB 304T-26-300CF, response extended to May 4, 2026, spanning approximately 382 food line items including proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and condiments), and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 (Virginia IFB 2000004323, sealed bids due April 27, 2026, establishing supply to 45 schools and distribution kitchens). Sourcing of niche dried fruit items such as barberries is not reflected in posted requirements; vendors pursuing this code should verify current demand with target school districts and correctional food service operations directly before investing in bid preparation.
