UNSPSC 50371812: Canned or jarred organic kobold barberries

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

UNSPSC 50371812 Canned or jarred organic kobold barberries is a Commodity code that nominally names a specialty preserved-fruit product, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show no activity actually purchasing canned or jarred barberries of any kind. Instead, the opportunities reflect broad food and consumables procurement spanning fresh produce, frozen proteins, canned vegetables and fruits, dairy, bakery items, and kitchen supplies for schools, corrections facilities, senior services, state hospitals, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Schools in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD in Texas), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), state veteran facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and municipal education procurement (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education). The code appears to capture institutional food service procurement broadly rather than the specialty organic-barberry category its name implies.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) with quotes due October 19, 2026, for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, at the Salem distribution center (historical award to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case); Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items statewide to state hospitals and supported living centers, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; and Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse regions with a May 4, 2026 response deadline (extended via addendum). Buy American preferences and domestic-content minimums appear frequently in school-district procurements; Oregon and Texas also apply resident-vendor preferences. The code's mislabeling relative to actual procurement scope suggests caution in reliance on the taxonomy alone.
