UNSPSC 50321812: Dried kobold barberries

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

UNSPSC 50321812 Dried kobold barberries is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect purchases of dried barberries. Instead, the code captures school nutrition and correctional facility food procurement spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and specialty food items — a mismatch that signals the code shows little activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (Georgia and Texas), and correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). The work being bought consists primarily of fresh produce and commodity food staples for cafeteria and institutional nutrition operations, procured through IFB and competitive sealed-bid notices with response windows of one to three weeks and contract terms typically running through June 2027 with optional renewals.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. The Georgia State Department of Education issued an IFB on May 15, 2026, for food supplies and kitchen products due June 22, 2026. Hancock County Schools posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, seeking fresh produce across 200+ line items (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, specialty fruits) for delivery to three school locations by June 26, 2026, with contract performance July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued electronic-submission RFQ BNB053266 on June 2, 2026, for 115 line items of eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE certification applicable under city ordinance. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured cafeteria food products through IFB 304T-26-300CF, issued May 4, 2026, across approximately 382 line items (proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, produce) for six warehouse locations, with the due date extended via addendum to May 4, 2026, and contract performance through August 31, 2027, with optional renewals.
