UNSPSC 50371803: Canned or jarred organic red barberries

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

UNSPSC 50371803 Canned or jarred organic red barberries (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The sourced opportunities tagged to this code span fresh produce, canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh vegetables, and broad food-service commodity buys for correctional facilities, schools, state-supported living centers, and nutrition programs — none of which specifically solicit canned or jarred red barberries. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being purchased suggests that either the code is seldom used for state and local solicitations or that food-service buyers apply it inconsistently when sourcing shelf-stable produce items.

The recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026 under related commodity codes show strong issuing-body diversity: county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia; Austin Independent School District, Texas), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state procurement offices (Illinois, Georgia), and municipal nutrition programs (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Bridgeport, Connecticut). Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with Oregon and Illinois showing secondary volume. These buyers typically solicit via IFB or IFQ with firm, fixed-unit pricing; FOB destination delivery; and responses to 95 percent minimum line-item compliance when parts of larger commodity baskets. Buy American provisions and preferences for state or domestic goods appear routinely. No incumbent vendor or set-aside information is available for the red barberries code itself; pursuit under related food-commodity categories may offer better near-term opportunity.
