UNSPSC 50371811: Canned or jarred organic crimson pygmy barberries

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

UNSPSC 50371811 Canned or jarred organic crimson pygmy barberries (Commodity) shows limited alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical product name—a narrow, specialty jarred fruit product—does not appear in the recent opportunities dataset. Instead, state and local buyers soliciting under this code are actually purchasing broad commodity food baskets, shelf-stable proteins, fresh produce, canned fruit, and consumable supplies for schools, corrections facilities, senior services, state hospitals, and state-supported living centers. Work being solicited includes food service procurement for nutrition programs, kitchen operations, cafeteria supply, and facility food distribution, spanning multiple line items and vendor awards rather than single-product buys.

Issuing bodies are diverse: county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia; Austin Independent School District, Texas), county social-services departments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Veterans Homes, State of Georgia), cities (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and specialty state facilities. Geographic activity spans Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut in the most recent postings (June–October 2026). Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and vegetables) due October 19, 2026 under an informal written quote (IWQ); the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce for delivery to Salem with a historical price of $21.84 per case and a five percent Oregon-goods preference; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting supplemental food and consumables across 210 line items for state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide under IFB HHS0016792v2 with an estimated three-year value of $4.5 million; and Austin Independent School District requesting proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps via RFP due July 16, 2026. Code activity is fragmented across multiple issuing bodies with no dominant repeat buyer and no incumbent announced.
