UNSPSC 50331804: Dried organic wintergreen barberries

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

UNSPSC 50331804 Dried organic wintergreen barberries (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's scope—specialized dried fruit products with organic certification—diverges significantly from the actual goods state and local governments are buying under related dried fruit and food procurement codes. Recent solicitations across school districts, correctional facilities, and food service operations in Georgia, California, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia focus on mainstream dried fruit categories (raisins, cranberries, prunes, tropical fruit blends) and comprehensive fresh produce and grocery supply to support K-12 nutrition programs, corrections food services, and general school nutrition operations; none identify dried organic wintergreen barberries as a line item or procurement objective. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department (County of Santa Clara, California) did issue ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts serving the Elmwood Correctional Facility in Milpitas, with response due February 5, 2026, but that solicitation specified raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans—not barberries.

State and local procurement under food service and nutrition codes consistently targets high-volume staple items with established supply chains, USDA compliance pathways, and commodity-market pricing benchmarks. Specialized or niche dried fruit products like organic wintergreen barberries do not appear in the Buy American-compliant, nutritionally standardized procurement pipelines that dominate school lunch, corrections, and public institution food services. Practitioners pursuing this code should verify whether it represents a viable market segment within state and local government or whether it is inaccurately tagged to unrelated food procurement activity.
