UNSPSC 50391811: Organic crimson pygmy barberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50391811 Organic crimson pygmy barberry purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of work state and local governments are buying under this code. Recent solicitations tagged to this code span broad food service procurement — shelf-stable pantry staples, fresh produce, canned fruits, dairy, proteins, and prepared entrees — rather than specialty fruit purees. State and local issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), county purchasing departments (Gwinnett County), independent school districts (Austin ISD in Texas), state corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state veteran homes (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and municipal nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity and the actual scope suggests the code may be misapplied in vendor classification systems or that barberry purees represent a single line item within larger food-service aggregations that state and local systems classify under a single UNSPSC tag.

Recent activity spans multiple states with no single geographic concentration. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026), each for approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases on FOB Destination terms with five percent Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases (due August 24, 2026, and June 17, 2026). Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumables statewide (HHS0016792V2, up to $4.5 million over three years, maximum potential value) and food for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, historical prior-period value $1.5 million, due July 13, 2026). Activity concentrated in the second and third quarters of 2026 suggests no imminent opportunity; most recent deadlines have passed or are near-term. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the nominal commodity scope bears minimal relation to the food-service categories actually being solicited.
