UNSPSC 50341812: Frozen kobold barberries

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

UNSPSC 50341812 Frozen kobold barberries is a Commodity code with no recent relevant state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—frozen specialty berries—does not align with the work actually being solicited under this code number in the available opportunities block.

State and local procurement systems tag purchases with UNSPSC codes to classify expenditures. The recent opportunities posted under code 50341812 span school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child nutrition facilities across Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Florida, Oregon, California, and other jurisdictions. However, none of these solicitations explicitly seek frozen kobold barberries or identify them as a line item. The opportunities instead request comprehensive grocery procurement (frozen fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and supplies), fresh produce contracts, ice cream and frozen novelties, dried fruits and nuts, and food supply distribution services for school districts, state health and human services facilities, child care programs, and correctional institutions. The code appears to have been applied as a broad-brush classifier for frozen fruit categories rather than as a precise commodity match. A search for "barberry" or "kobold barberry" in the available solicitation summaries yields no matches, and the term does not appear in any recent IFB, RFP, or RFQ notice. Unless procurement offices are encoding frozen barberries under this code without naming them explicitly in their notices—an unlikely scenario in competitive state and local procurement where specifications must be detailed for vendors to bid—the code shows no active market signal. Business development professionals should verify with issuing bodies whether frozen kobold barberries are in fact procured under this code, or whether the code is misapplied to a broader frozen-fruit family. If procurement activity under this code exists, it is not reflected in current public opportunities.
