UNSPSC 50306208: Focke strawberry raspberry

The variety of raspberries known as focke strawberry raspberry

UNSPSC 50306208 Focke strawberry raspberry is a Commodity code that captures fresh berry procurement for state and local food service operations, particularly child nutrition and institutional meal programs. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show school districts, child care networks, and county nutrition programs sourcing fresh berries—including strawberries, raspberries, and mixed berry products—as components of comprehensive fresh produce contracts and specialized fresh fruit and vegetable programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school nutrition programs across multiple states, supplemented by child care food program operators and county education boards. Work solicited includes weekly or bi-weekly delivery of fresh berries in case quantities to central warehouses and individual school sites, often combined with broader produce line items under annual fixed-price or cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts, with deliveries typically Monday through Friday between early morning and early afternoon windows.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Connecticut, reflecting both large state K–12 systems and regional cooperative purchasing consortia. Representative recent opportunities include the GEC Buying Cooperative's SN 26-004 (Douglas County School System, RFP, proposals due March 4, 2026) procuring fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million and estimated strawberry and raspberry volumes embedded within the 72-line-item fresh produce scope; Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) RFP 26039RFQDST (proposals due March 11, 2026) for specialty fruits and vegetables including berries to 18 elementary schools in the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at an estimated annual budget of $600,000; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34 (Georgia, IFB, proposals due April 23, 2026) for 72 fresh produce items including processed and single-serve fruit cups and prepared salads; and Bulloch County Board of Education IFP (Georgia, proposals due May 4, 2026) seeking locally grown produce within 200 miles including strawberries at historical pricing of $3.13 per pound. Most contracts run July through June school years with firm pricing for initial periods and escalation tied to USDA market indices; vendors must maintain HACCP plans, carry $500,000 to $1 million general liability insurance, and comply with Buy American provisions requiring domestic sourcing when practicable.
