UNSPSC 50391800: Organic barberry purees

The type of organic fruit known as organic barberries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50391800 Organic barberry purees is a Class code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little alignment with the nominal scope. The solicitations center on canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-service commodities for correctional facilities, schools, health and human services agencies, and institutional dining operations—not barberry purees or products marketed as organic. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all classification for fruit-based food products and food-service commodity bundles rather than for barberry-specific procurement.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools Virginia, Austin Independent School District Texas, Rockwood R-VI School District Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Georgia, Muscogee County School District Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education Georgia, Douglas County School System Georgia, Dallas Independent School District Texas), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal food service operations (City of Bridgeport Connecticut Board of Education). Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Missouri, Georgia, Connecticut, and Virginia, with Georgia and Texas showing the highest concentration of active solicitations. Representative recent activity includes the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with delivery to Salem and historical pricing of $21.84 per case; Austin Independent School District RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with estimated prior-period spend of $1.5 million; and Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. The code shows active, ongoing procurement activity driven by institutional food-service requirements, though the work being bought bears only partial relationship to the code's stated commodity description.
