UNSPSC 50561803: Non GMO red barberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50561803 Non GMO red barberry purees is a Commodity code that designates specialty fruit preserves and purées for institutional food service. State and local procurement offices tag this code nominally for red barberry products, but the most recent activity shows jurisdictions buying far broader shelf-stable and fresh food inventories—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce across multiple apple and berry varieties, proteins, dairy, condiments, and consumable supplies—sourced through food service contracts that bundle dozens or hundreds of line items. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), municipal boards (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases in Connecticut), and state facilities serving vulnerable populations (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, TDCJ warehouse network). The scope of solicitations indicates that state and local buyers use food-service commodity codes to aggregate diverse products rather than to isolate specialty items like red barberry purées, and the opportunities reveal that pricing is negotiated per unit (ounce, case, or pound), delivery is FOB destination with prepaid freight, and compliance with USDA standards and Buy American provisions is routine.

Geographic concentration shows activity in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC, TDCJ), Illinois (State of Illinois), Oregon (ODOC), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), with solicitations posted from May through October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 (RFQ); State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants, due August 24, 2026 (RFP); Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case; Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792v2 for supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items with a three-year contract value ceiling of $4,500,000 (March 19, 2026 bid deadline, now closed). The code shows active state and local demand for food service, though opportunities tagged to it typically include commodity categories well beyond the nominal red barberry specification, suggesting procurement databases sometimes apply this code as a catch-all for specialty or processed fruit products within broader food-service buys.
