UNSPSC 50331803: Dried organic red barberries

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

UNSPSC 50331803 Dried organic red barberries, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity recorded under this code. The opportunities posted show no solicitations for dried red barberries or similar specialty dried fruits; instead, the bulk of activity centers on broad school nutrition food supply contracts, produce delivery, and prison food service commodities across multiple jurisdictions.

State and local governments are purchasing fresh produce, eggs, comprehensive grocery assortments, and dried fruits (including raisins, cranberries, and mixed tropical blends) through school districts, county education systems, correctional facilities, and regional buying cooperatives. Recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools Nutrition (Georgia, IFB, due June 26, 2026) for over 200 fresh produce line items including apples, berries, and vegetables; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia, IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for a Master Grocery K-12 contract supplying 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri, due April 29, 2026) for over 900 grocery line items across snacks, produce, dairy, meats, and prepared entrees serving approximately 6,900 daily lunch participants; Douglas County School System (Georgia, RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million in one area; and Santa Clara County (California, ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) for dried fruits and nuts to correctional facilities. Geographic activity spans Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, Virginia, and California. The code shows minimal or no recent procurement targeting dried red barberries specifically; the activity recorded appears misclassified at the commodity level and does not reflect the actual specialty fruit procurement this code nominally describes.
