UNSPSC 50561800: Non GMO barberry purees

The type of non GMO barberries known as non GMO barberries which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50561800 Non GMO barberry purees, a Class code, encompasses shelf-stable and specialty fruit products procured by state and local food service operations, though recent activity shows this code is tagged to a broad range of fresh produce, canned fruit, and prepared food items rather than barberry purees specifically. State and local governments buying under this code include county school boards, state departments of corrections and health services, independent school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services commissions, and municipal governments. The scope of work actually being solicited spans fresh produce procurement (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, melons, citrus), canned and frozen fruits including applesauce, dried fruit bars and apple crisps, and supplemental food and consumable products for institutional food service—meals for state hospitals, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services centers, and school nutrition programs. Issuing bodies repeatedly appear in the opportunities: the State of Illinois (multiple weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), the Oregon Department of Corrections (multiple applesauce procurements), and school districts and county boards of education across Georgia and elsewhere soliciting fresh produce and food products for child nutrition.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Southwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026), applying a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued IFBs for supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026, with a potential value of $4.5 million over three years, and HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026, citing a prior-period value of $1.5 million); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce for school year 2027 (IFB #SN002-2027 due June 26, 2026, with over 200 line items and Buy American requirements); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and sauces (IWQ 140229 due October 19, 2026); the State of Illinois solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (due August 24, 2026); the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (BNB053266 due June 26, 2026, with 115 line items); and Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004 due July 16, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, via the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products covering 382 line items across five geographic areas (due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21, 2026).
