UNSPSC 50306220: Snow raspberry

The variety of raspberries known as snow raspberry

UNSPSC 50306220 Snow raspberry is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity aligned to its scope. State and local governments procuring under this code are buying fresh produce—primarily fresh fruits and vegetables—for school nutrition programs, child and adult care food programs, senior services, and correctional facilities. The recent opportunities in the dataset show school districts, city education departments, and county boards of education as the primary issuing bodies, with scattered activity from special-purpose districts and cooperative purchasing consortia. What state and local entities are actually acquiring under codes in this fresh-produce family includes standardized produce items (apples, bananas, berries, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes), specialty or seasonal varieties, pre-cut or processed fresh fruits and vegetables, and eggs—typically delivered fresh on fixed schedules (weekly or multiple times per week) to school cafeterias, central warehouses, senior centers, or correctional facilities.

Geographic activity spans Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California, with particularly dense recent solicitation activity in Georgia school districts. Representative recent opportunities include the Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) requesting bids for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026); the City of Edinburg, Texas requesting proposals for CACFP meal program food and nonfood items (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida soliciting proposals for fresh specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (RFP 26039RFPDST, due March 11, 2026); and the GEC Buying Cooperative (a consortium of Georgia school districts) requesting proposals for fresh produce and eggs across two geographic regions (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million). Evaluation criteria across these solicitations consistently weight cost heavily (30–50 percent), followed by vendor qualifications and experience, product quality, and delivery reliability. Buy American provisions and compliance with federal school nutrition regulations (USDA, CACFP, FFVP) are standard across institutional procurements.
