UNSPSC 50341805: Frozen korean barberries

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

UNSPSC 50341805 Frozen Korean Barberries, a Commodity code, shows little activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. While the code describes a highly specialized frozen fruit product, the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically seeking frozen Korean barberries. Instead, the tagged opportunities span general grocery procurement, fresh produce, frozen foods, and ice cream—broad categories that do not map to this specific commodity. The code appears inactive for state and local purchasing at present.

The opportunities posted since late January 2026 reflect institutional food service across multiple jurisdictions, primarily school districts and state health agencies in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, California, Oregon, and New Jersey. Recurring buyers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (which issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables at state hospitals and supported living centers), numerous Georgia school boards (Bulloch County, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Early County, Decatur, Fulton County, and Henry County), and specialized entities such as Head Start of Greater Dallas and county correction facilities. The solicitations are predominantly IFBs and RFPs with firm-fixed pricing models, Buy American compliance mandates, HACCP and food safety requirements, and contract terms running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with optional renewals. Recent examples include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 (Big Spring State Hospital, due July 27, 2026, baseline spend $32,226.36 annually), the City of Bridgeport's IFB for grocery items supporting the school lunch program (due June 30, 2026, over 1,100 line items), and Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB for grocery products across 32,409 cases (estimated value $969,460.94, due June 24, 2026). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Florida, Missouri, California, Oregon, and New Jersey. The code does not align with the actual commodities being solicited and warrants reclassification or review against the correct UNSPSC taxonomy for institutional frozen fruit purchases.
