UNSPSC 50351803: Frozen organic red barberries

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

UNSPSC 50351803 Frozen organic red barberries is a Commodity code that names a single specialty frozen fruit product. However, recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct solicitation for frozen organic red barberries specifically. The nine most recent opportunities posted under or tagged to this code span school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child nutrition contracting — encompassing broad grocery and fresh produce procurement rather than sourcing of this particular frozen berry commodity. When frozen organic red barberries appear in these solicitations, they are typically one line item among hundreds in comprehensive food-service contracts serving National School Lunch Program or School Breakfast Program mandates, alongside produce, frozen foods, dairy, meat, grains, and prepared entrees.

School districts and school boards dominate the issuing-body mix, including the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia serving 30 districts through a cooperative), and other state-level food service procurement by the State of Georgia. Georgia sees the highest concentration of recent activity. Representative opportunities include Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery-items IFB due June 30, 2026, spanning 1,100+ line items with Buy American requirements and blind testing protocols; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013) due June 26, 2026, covering 200+ produce items; and Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP (PE64810NONST2026000000047) issued February 4, 2026, for estimated $5.5 million combined across two geographic areas covering 30 districts. All contracts require firm fixed pricing, transportation prepaid to school sites, HACCP plans, food-recall accessibility, Buy American compliance at 51 percent domestic content, and insurance minimums typically between $500,000 and $2,000,000 general liability. Frozen organic red barberries as a standalone procurement vehicle shows no identifiable recent activity — the code appears mismatched to the actual scope of work being solicited.
