UNSPSC 50306202: Bailey queensland raspberry

The variety of raspberries known as bailey queensland raspberry

UNSPSC 50306202 Bailey Queensland Raspberry is a Commodity code representing fresh berry procurement by state and local education agencies, counties, and cities. State and local governments buy raspberries and related fresh berries under this code primarily to support school meal programs—including the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and federally funded Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs—as well as child and adult care food programs and senior nutrition services. The recent opportunities show that raspberries are procured as line items within broader fresh-produce and grocery solicitations rather than as standalone single-commodity buys; they appear specified by variety, pack size, and ripeness stage in school nutrition RFPs and IFBs that bundle dozens of produce categories (apples, bananas, leafy greens, berries, root vegetables, citrus, and tomatoes) into comprehensive annual food service contracts. Issuing bodies include school districts (elementary through high school systems), special food programs such as Head Start and CACFP operations, senior services departments, and county boards of education. The code sees active procurement across multiple jurisdictions but no single dominant repeat buyer in the recent block; the opportunities reflect a distributed market where individual school systems and nutrition programs conduct their own competitive procurements annually.

Geographic activity in fresh produce procurement, including raspberries, concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and Oregon based on recent opportunities spanning February through July 2026. Representative solicitations include Bulloch County School District's IFP for fresh local produce (May 4, 2026 deadline, RFP), Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed-bid fresh-produce procurement (June 16, 2026 deadline, IFB), Hillsborough County Public Schools' cost-plus-fee FFVP produce contract serving 18 elementary schools (March 11, 2026 deadline, RFP), and the GEC Buying Cooperative's multi-district produce and eggs RFP covering 30 Georgia school districts (March 4, 2026 deadline). The code shows no significant activity tied specifically to raspberries as a stand-alone commodity; instead, raspberries appear as one line item among 40 to 70+ produce SKUs in annual school nutrition food service contracts. Procurement notice frequency and the scale of recent activity suggest steady, recurring annual demand driven by the school calendar and federal nutrition program cycles, though individual contract values and raspberry-specific volumes are not disclosed in these opportunities.
