UNSPSC 50321813: Dried warty barberries

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

UNSPSC 50321813 Dried warty barberries, a Commodity code, represents a narrow specialty agricultural product with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows no direct solicitations for dried warty barberries specifically. Recent opportunities tagged under or near this commodity involve broader fresh produce, general grocery items, and dried fruit categories serving school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other government food services, but dried warty barberries do not appear in any of the posted solicitations reviewed. The few dried-fruit-specific opportunities (such as Santa Clara County's procurement for dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix at Elmwood Correctional Facility, or Texas TDCJ's bid for whole pitted dried prunes) reflect demand for commodity dried fruits in institutional food service, yet warty barberries remain absent from these active buys.

School districts and state and county food service operations dominate the broader dried and fresh produce category, with issuing bodies including Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut), State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Santa Clara County Office of the Sheriff (California). Activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary representation in Connecticut, Virginia, Missouri, and California. The lack of recent solicitations naming dried warty barberries suggests low or no current state and local demand for this specific commodity; pursuing opportunities under this code would require targeting niche institutional buyers or monitoring future school nutrition program expansions that might incorporate specialty dried fruits into their menus.
