UNSPSC 50361807: Canned or jarred japanese barberries

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

UNSPSC 50361807 Canned or jarred Japanese barberries, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct activity in recent state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope does not align with the food service purchasing actually appearing in the recent opportunities block, which covers broad shelf-stable and fresh produce procurement for school districts, county social services, state corrections facilities, state supported living centers, and veterans homes. The ten opportunities posted between May and October 2026 include dried fruit bars, fresh produce, canned applesauce, commodities for nutrition centers, and general cafeteria and food-service items—none specifically naming Japanese barberries or other specialty preserved fruits in that category. Food service procurement under related commodity codes involves purchase volumes ranging from approximately 1,000 to 4,500 cases or line-item quantities in the hundreds, with contracts typically covering one-year terms and prices quoted on per-unit or per-case bases with firm-fixed or indexed pricing structures.

Recent activity spans school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of TDCJ), and special-purpose facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, Texas state supported living centers and state hospitals). The geographic spread includes Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Oregon, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 (IWQ format), Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, and the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five TDCJ warehouse areas due May 4, 2026 (extended from April 21). The code shows little relevant recent activity and does not represent a meaningful procurement vector for firms targeting state and local food service contracts.
