UNSPSC 50382214: European barberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50382214 European barberry purees, a Commodity code, covers canned and prepared fruit products purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations under this code focus predominantly on applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce rather than barberry purees specifically. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts across multiple states, and regional education cooperatives are the primary issuing bodies, with school nutrition programs representing the largest share of recent activity. Work ranges from bulk canned fruit purchases (Oregon Department of Corrections sought 4,760 cases of canned applesauce in an ITB posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) to fresh produce contracts spanning multiple line items and delivery locations. Institutional food service contracts typically specify USDA commodity compliance, firm fixed pricing on a per-unit or per-case basis, and delivery to central warehouses or multiple school sites; most require Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, general liability insurance of $1 million or higher, and compliance with federal food safety standards.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with school districts dominating the issuing-body mix. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumable products (HHS0016792, posted February 26, 2026, due February 23, 2026, later extended to February 23, 2026) covering 210 line items across bread, dairy, frozen foods, and specialty items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with an estimated $4.5 million potential value over three years; the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens; and the Douglas County School System's fresh produce RFP for 30 districts across two Georgia regions (PE64810NONST2026000000047, posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined. School district solicitations typically run annually with July 1 start dates, firm fixed pricing for twelve-month periods, and renewal options extending two to four years, while state institutional-care contracts often span multiple facilities and allow price adjustments tied to inflation indices or manufacturer price increases.
