UNSPSC 50331805: Dried organic korean barberries

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

UNSPSC 50331805 Dried organic Korean barberries (Commodity) does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code are school district and county nutrition programs soliciting fresh produce, cafeteria staples, grocery items, and dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, pecans) for K–12 food service, correctional facilities, and emergency nutrition programs—none of which specifically target dried Korean barberries or other specialty organic produce items. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) IFB for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and citrus (due June 26, 2026); the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) commodities bid for eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products (due June 26, 2026); and the Santa Clara County (California) ITB for dried fruits and nuts to the Sheriff's Department (due February 5, 2026) all represent the types of items actually being procured under food-service commodity codes in recent months. The County of Santa Clara procurement did specify dried tropical fruit blend, but again no bidders are targeting organic Korean barberries as a discrete line item.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix—Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all posted significant grocery or produce contracts between January and June 2026. State procurement offices (Georgia, Texas) and municipal food-service arms (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut; Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department, California) round out the activity. Geographic concentration is heavy in the Southeast, particularly Georgia, with secondary activity in the Midwest (Missouri), Mid-Atlantic (Virginia, Connecticut), and West Coast (California). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement suggests either a data-entry error in code assignment or that dried organic Korean barberries remain a niche item outside routine state and local nutrition procurement.
