UNSPSC 50361812: Canned or jarred kobold barberries

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

UNSPSC 50361812 Canned or jarred kobold barberries (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. Recent opportunities solicited under the code span mainstream canned and processed fruits, fresh produce, and food service supplies for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, state health and human services operations, and institutional food service, not specialty or exotic items.

State and local buyers include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, school districts (Austin Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District), and county or multi-district cooperatives (Douglas County School System through the GEC Buying Cooperative, Bridgeport Board of Education). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, followed by state corrections and health agencies. Recent solicitations target canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce spanning multiple varieties (apples, berries, carrots, citrus), eggs, and food-service staples, priced on firm fixed or cost-plus-net-off-invoice bases with delivery to central warehouses or individual school sites. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce within the recent window (May 2026 and July 2026), each seeking approximately 1,900–4,760 cases at historical prices near $21.84 per case, FOB destination to Salem.

Geographic activity clusters in the South and Pacific Northwest. Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County) and Texas jurisdictions (HHSC, TDCJ, DISD, Austin ISD) posted the plurality of recent opportunities. Oregon (ODOC), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Virginia (Fairfax County) round out the geographic spread. The Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) and the Texas HHSC IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years, posted February 26, 2026) represent the largest recent opportunities by scope and estimated dollar value. School year procurement cycles (typically July start dates) drive activity in spring and early summer. Bidders must navigate Buy American provisions, state and local small-business set-asides where applicable, firm-fixed or price-redetermination structures, multi-location delivery requirements, and substantial insurance and compliance certifications across most jurisdictions.
