UNSPSC 50561802: Non GMO chenault barberry purees

The variety of non GMO barberries known as non GMO chenault barberries which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50561802 Non GMO chenault barberry purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code are actually buying shelf-stable food products for institutional food service — including fresh produce, canned fruits and vegetables, proteins, dairy, and specialty food items — for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, veterans homes, and social service agencies. Recent solicitations frame the code's scope much more broadly than barberry purees alone; the actual work being bought spans multi-line-item food supply contracts where individual commodities (applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, proteins, condiments) are bundled into comprehensive food service procurement vehicles. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county school boards and independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District), county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and municipal entities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). State agencies and school districts dominate the recent activity, with Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut appearing across multiple solicitations.

Recent activity spans the South, Southwest, and Pacific Northwest. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide (due March 19, 2026; maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years). The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two separate ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (due June 2, 2026, and July 31, 2026; approximately 1,904 and 4,760 cases respectively, with 5% Oregon preference available). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on both brand-specific and brand-or-equal terms (multiple quarters, most recently due August 24, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services (due October 19, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year across over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026). Austin Independent School District issued an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026). The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21). City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested bids for 115 line items across multiple product categories (due June 26, 2026). Buy American provisions and prevailing wage requirements appear frequently; Oregon offers standing geographic preferences, and Texas Food and Human Services applications note past-vendor performance tracking and best-value evaluation.
