UNSPSC 50561807: Non GMO japanese barberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50561807 Non GMO Japanese barberry purees, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged to it. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for barberry purees—whether GMO or non-GMO, fresh or processed. Instead, the code has been applied to school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, departments of corrections, and municipal nutrition centers procuring shelf-stable food products across a broad range of categories: canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce (berries, citrus, melons, cruciferous and root vegetables, leafy greens, specialty fruits), cafeteria proteins (beef, chicken, fish), dairy items (cheese, eggs), grains (rice, pasta, tortillas, bread), condiments, soups, canned vegetables, and other pantry staples for inmate meals, senior services, school nutrition programs, and state-supported living center food service. The code shows no recent activity matching its stated commodity.

Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County), municipal nutrition departments (City of Bridgeport), state departments of corrections (Oregon ODOC, Texas TDCJ), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Veterans Home), and state purchasing offices. Recent opportunities span Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for school year 2026-27 (due June 26, 2026), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with prior award value of $1.5 million for the annual period). Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity, vendors pursuing barberry-specific business should verify code assignment and issuing body intent before committing resources.
