UNSPSC 50371801: Canned or jarred organic paleleaf barberries

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

UNSPSC 50371801 Canned or jarred organic paleleaf barberries, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity under its exact specification. The recent opportunities in the dataset are tagged with this code but actually solicit canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, general food and consumable products for institutional food service, fresh produce, and eggs—products substantially outside the narrow scope of organic paleleaf barberries. State and local governments are actively procuring food products for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state health service operations, and institutional dining, but the records do not reflect demand for the specific commodity named in the code. The issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools), and county or city education and nutrition programs (Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, Muscogee County School District). These buyers source food products competitively on annual or multi-year cycles, typically through ITB, IFB, or RFP notices with firm fixed pricing and delivery to central warehouses or school sites.

Geographic activity spans Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, with the heaviest recent concentration in Texas and Georgia school nutrition procurements. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, bid due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026, with historical annual value of $1.5 million). The code as specified—organic paleleaf barberries in canned or jarred form—does not match the actual purchasing activity reflected in recent state and local solicitations. Firms pursuing this code should verify whether buyers are genuinely seeking paleleaf barberries or whether the tagging reflects a broader food commodity classification system mismatch.
