UNSPSC 50341802: Frozen chenault barberries

The variety of barberries known as chenault barberries that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50341802 Frozen chenault barberries, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a single frozen-fruit product line, but recent solicitations tagged with this code reveal no procurements actually seeking frozen chenault barberries. Instead, state and local issuing bodies—principally school districts, state health and human services agencies, and county correction facilities—use related food procurement codes to solicit comprehensive grocery, frozen-food, and produce bundles where barberries, if present at all, would appear as one line item among hundreds spanning proteins, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and prepared foods. The mismatch between the narrow commodity name and the broad scope of work actually being bought suggests this code is either misapplied in tagging or rarely used in isolation for state and local foodservice purchasing.

Recent opportunities show active procurement across frozen and fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and pantry staples by Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0017660, HHS0017449, HHS0016792 covering multi-million-dollar food-service supply), school districts in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Florida, and Missouri seeking grocery items and fresh produce for child nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport BNB052266, Hancock County Schools PE67080NONST2027000000013, Early County Schools PE55045NONST2027000000006, Rockwood R-VI CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027), and county correction and child-care facilities (Santa Clara County ITBPRCFY260617 for dried fruits and nuts, Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP). Geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, California, Missouri, Oregon, and Mississippi. The code shows little decision-relevant recent activity as a standalone commodity; vendors pursuing frozen-fruit supply should monitor broader grocery and produce solicitations where individual line items may include barberries or similar specialty frozen items.
