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 describes specialty dried fruit products, though recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show minimal purchasing activity aligned with the nominal product category. The recent opportunities in the dataset span school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and correctional facility supply chains, but they predominantly solicit mainstream fresh produce, frozen entrees, proteins, dairy, and staple grocery items rather than dried barberries or other specialty dried fruits. Hancock County Schools and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education solicited fresh produce across multiple item lines (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root crops, citrus, melons, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty fresh items). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products spanning proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, canned vegetables, and fresh fruits under a statewide procurement framework. State purchasing offices and school boards are the primary issuing bodies in recent activity, with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products and compliance with USDA grade standards across all jurisdictions.

Recent opportunities show activity in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut, with Georgia issuing a consolidated state food supplies bid in May 2026 and Texas through its Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division managing TDCJ cafeteria food procurement across five geographic regions. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce due June 26, 2026, with delivery to three school locations over the 2026–27 school year. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB for commodities to the Board of Education Nutrition Center due June 26, 2026, with contract term through June 30, 2027 and MBE/CBE certifications applicable under city ordinance. The Texas Comptroller issued an IFB for cafeteria food products due May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum from April 21), covering approximately 382 line items with delivery to six TDCJ distribution points and contract term through August 31, 2027 with optional one-year renewals. A separate TDCJ bid for whole, pitted, dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532) closed February 20, 2026, calling for 1,400 boxes of U.S. Grade B prunes. The code shows little recent purchasing volume in dried Korean barberries or closely related specialty dried fruits; most activity falls into fresh produce, protein, and institutional staples outside the nominal commodity scope.
