UNSPSC 50382208: Atropurpurea barberry purees

The variety of barberries known as atropurpurea barberries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50382208 Atropurpurea barberry purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments do not actively procure under this classification. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for barberry purees or products materially aligned with the code's nominal scope; instead, opportunities tagged with this code solicit canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, general food and consumable products for institutional food service, fresh produce, and groceries for school nutrition and state facility operations. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual work being bought—mainstream institutional food service products rather than specialty purees—indicates the code sees little relevant recent activity or has been applied inconsistently by issuing bodies.

State and local food service procurement activity is concentrated among school districts (Austin Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), and special-purpose districts (Bridgeport Board of Education). Recent solicitations span Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, and Missouri, with school nutrition programs driving the highest volume of activity. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide serving 23 facilities across Texas (210 line items, historical value $4.5 million over three years), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across Georgia (estimated annual spend $5.5 million combined for two areas, proposals due March 4, 2026). No procurement activity appears under UNSPSC 50382208 itself; all identified opportunities use broader commodity codes or narrative scopes unrelated to barberry purees.
