UNSPSC 50382210: Bagatelle barberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50382210 Bagatelle barberry purees is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — specialty fruit purees — diverges sharply from what state and local governments are actually buying under this designation. Recent opportunities posted against this code request applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, staple grocery items, and complete food service distribution for correctional facilities, schools, state hospitals, and health and human services centers. None of these solicitations involve bagatelle barberry products. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education, City of Bridgeport, and multiple Georgia school districts have all tagged their food procurement activities to this code, but the actual work consists of routine food service supply — fresh produce, canned fruit, proteins, dairy, condiments, and warehouse distribution — rather than specialty or premium fruit purees.

Geographic activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Illinois, with school nutrition programs and state institutional food service the dominant issuing bodies. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (historical value $4.5 million over three years). The code shows active state and local procurement volume, but the tagging mismatch suggests either miscategorization in the issuing bodies' internal UNSPSC mappings or a legacy code assignment that no longer reflects commodity content. Business development teams pursuing state and local food service contracts should treat this code as a catch-all institutional food procurement category rather than a specialty-product opportunity.
