UNSPSC 50306210: Gold raspberry

The variety of raspberries known as gold raspberry

UNSPSC 50306210 Gold raspberry is a Commodity code that does not reflect actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. While the code nominally addresses a specific produce item, the sourced solicitations span broad school nutrition, child care, and correctional facility food service needs encompassing dozens of fresh and processed food categories—apples, bananas, carrots, berries, dairy, proteins, paper goods, cleaning supplies, and dried fruits—rather than gold raspberries specifically. State and local buyers soliciting under produce-related UNSPSC codes treat them as broad commodity families; the opportunities show school districts, county boards of education, Head Start programs, city departments, and cooperative purchasing consortia all procuring mixed fresh produce and grocery items through IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs with no consistent alignment to individual fruit or berry line items.

Issuing bodies driving activity include Georgia school districts (Bulloch, Bryan, Dougherty, Glynn, Hancock, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County), Texas school districts (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, Hillsborough County Public Schools), Connecticut school districts (Meriden Public Schools), a Florida school district (Hillsborough), a Georgia cooperative purchasing consortium (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts), Head Start programs (Greater Dallas), city departments (San Antonio Senior Services, Bridgeport Board of Education, Meriden Purchasing), and county correctional facilities (Santa Clara Sheriff Department). The GEC Buying Cooperative RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) stands out as a multi-district opportunity spanning two geographic areas in Georgia with estimated annual spending around $5.5 million across 30 school districts. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut, with secondary activity in Florida, Oregon, California, and other states. Representative solicitations include the Hillsborough County Public Schools Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program RFP (26039RFPDST, due March 11, 2026) seeking specialty produce for 18 elementary schools with an estimated $600,000 annual budget; Meriden Public Schools RFP 026-41 (due February 25, 2026) for commercial groceries and produce across 13 sites with anticipated contract value of $3.1 million; McAllen ISD RFP 2026-1029 (due March 6, 2026) for fresh produce across 31 campuses; and the Austin ISD RFP 26RFP034 (due March 11, 2026) for fresh produce and beverages emphasizing Good Food Purchasing Program compliance and local sourcing alignment. The code shows no quiet period—sourcing remains active through mid-July 2026.
