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

UNSPSC 50351801 Frozen organic paleleaf barberries is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity under its precise specification. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect purchases of frozen organic paleleaf barberries specifically; instead, they capture broad food-procurement solicitations spanning shelf-stable and fresh produce, dairy, proteins, grains, and prepared items. State and local governments buying under this code—when they do—typically source specialty frozen vegetables and organic produce for school nutrition programs, senior services, and other social-service meal operations. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county social-service departments, including Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (senior nutrition), Bridgeport Board of Education (National School Lunch Program), Hancock County Board of Education (school meals), Early County Board of Education (school meals), and the State of Georgia. These buyers emphasize compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products), HACCP food-safety protocols, nutritional standards including whole-grain and low-sodium requirements, and domestic sourcing preferences where feasible.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Connecticut based on the recent posted opportunities. Gwinnett County (Georgia) solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items via informal written quote (IWQ 140229) with response due October 19, 2026.

The code shows sparse and scattered recent posting activity; frozen organic barberries as a discrete line item do not appear prominently in the sourced opportunities.
