UNSPSC 50391803: Organic red barberry purees

The variety of organic barberries known as organic red barberries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50391803 Organic red barberry purees (Commodity) does not match the scope of state and local food procurement opportunities that carry this code. The recent opportunities show no solicitations for organic red barberry purees or barberry products of any kind. Instead, the coded opportunities span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, weekly food orders, food and consumable products for state facilities, fresh produce, cafeteria food products, and grocery staples — none of which are barberry-based or organic specialty fruit purees. The issuing bodies range across state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia, State of Illinois, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), counties (Douglas County Georgia, Muscogee County Georgia, Liberty County Georgia, Hancock County Georgia, Bridgeport Connecticut), and school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System). This mix reflects the broad institutional food service demand typical of state corrections, state health facilities, and K-12 nutrition programs across multiple jurisdictions.

Opportunities cluster in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois, reflecting geographic concentration in mid-Atlantic and southeastern states plus Pacific Northwest activity. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 due April 27, 2026, covering 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution across 32 schools with estimated annual spend of approximately $9,000,000. The code shows substantial activity in institutional food service supply, but the mismatch between the nominal commodity (organic red barberry purees) and the actual solicitations indicates this code does not meaningfully segment the market for that product at state and local level.
