UNSPSC 50361803: Canned or jarred red barberries

The variety of barberries known as red barberries that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50361803 Canned or jarred red barberries (Commodity) sees virtually no relevant recent activity; the code's nominal scope does not align with the opportunities state and local governments are actually soliciting under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, weekly food orders, fresh produce, and bulk grocery supply—reflect broad food procurement across corrections facilities, state health and human services agencies, school districts, and municipal nutrition programs, but none involve red barberries specifically or even close botanical analogs. The mismatch suggests the code is either mislabeled in the underlying procurement systems or serves as a catch-all placeholder for miscellaneous canned fruit purchases that do not fit narrower commodity codes.

State and local food procurement under the broader canned and preserved fruit category (which this code nominally represents) is active and geographically dispersed. Oregon Department of Corrections issued Invitation to Bid S2910000017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought supplemental food and consumables statewide (IFB HHS0016792v2) with a maximum three-year potential value of $4.5 million; and Dallas Independent School District posted RFP JC250079 for various food products due April 2, 2026. School districts in Missouri, Georgia, Texas, and Virginia dominate recent activity, typically bundling canned or preserved fruit into larger grocery, fresh produce, or nutrition supply contracts rather than procuring them as standalone commodity lines. Most opportunities show firm pricing requirements, delivery-inclusive FOB terms, and annual contract periods with renewal options. The code appears inactive as a discrete procurement vehicle; pursue only if your product line encompasses preserved fruit as part of broader food service distribution capability.
