UNSPSC 50361806: Canned or jarred mentor barberries

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

UNSPSC 50361806 Canned or jarred mentor barberries is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity — the opportunities posted under this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, weekly food orders, state facility food supplies, school nutrition fresh produce, cafeteria food products, and grocery items for school districts and correctional facilities, none of which align with the code's nominal scope of canned or jarred mentor barberries.

State and local procurement offices across multiple jurisdictions — school districts, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and county boards of education — are actively soliciting food products for institutional food service, but the actual commodities being purchased diverge substantially from this code's stated product. The issuing bodies span Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, multiple Georgia and Texas school districts, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Dallas Independent School District, and others. Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Connecticut, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (due July 31, 2026) expecting delivery to Salem with a historical price of $21.84 per case; Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's bid for commodities to the Board of Education Nutrition Center covering 115 line items (due June 26, 2026). The code classification appears misaligned with procurement practice, suggesting either a data-entry error or a mismatch between UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and actual commodity sourcing.
