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 (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The five most recent opportunities solicited under 50561802 involve canned applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections, ITB, July 31, 2026), dried fruit bars and apple crisps (Austin Independent School District, RFP, July 16, 2026), weekly food orders (Illinois Chief Procurement Office, June 17, 2026), and food and consumable products for state facilities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, IFB, July 13, 2026). The code's nominal scope—barberry purees—appears to represent a narrow, specialized product line that does not match the broader fruit procurement activity actually occurring in the market. State and local food service purchasing under this tag encompasses canned and processed fruits across multiple varieties and formats, fresh and dried fruit products for school nutrition programs, and institutional food supply contracts for corrections facilities and health services.

The recent opportunities reflect issuing bodies spanning state departments (Oregon DOC, Texas HHSC, Illinois CPO), school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County Schools in Georgia), and special-purpose food service procurement cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative in Georgia). School nutrition programs account for the majority of activity, with districts conducting annual or multi-year buys for fresh produce, dried fruit products, and packaged food items. Geographic spread includes Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with school districts in the Southeast (Georgia) and Texas representing the heaviest recent concentration. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) for fresh produce including apples and berries (IFB, June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport Connecticut Department of Public Purchases for commodities to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center (IFB, June 26, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) for Master Grocery K-12 term contract covering food products and delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (IFB, April 27, 2026).
