UNSPSC 50371804: Canned or jarred organic wintergreen barberries

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

UNSPSC 50371804 Canned or jarred organic wintergreen barberries is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a much broader range of shelf-stable food products than its narrow code name suggests. Recent state and local solicitations show jurisdictions buying canned and jarred fruits, applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, proteins, dairy products, condiments, and other food-service staples for schools, correctional facilities, senior services, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and nutrition programs. The issuing bodies span school districts, county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health and human services, state veterans homes, county senior services, and municipal nutrition centers. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as repeat buyers over the June-October 2026 window, along with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, and the City of Bridgeport.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, South Carolina), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's IFQ for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (35 line items including canned proteins, vegetables, sauces, and soups) due October 19, 2026, with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (both brand-specific and brand-or-equal RFPs posted August 19, 2026, due August 24); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (historical award price $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales in June 2026, with approximately 10 percent Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences applied); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, covering 210 line items with a three-year contract potential value of $4.5 million and a May 19 posting with a March 19, 2026 bid deadline (already closed).
