UNSPSC 50306228: Yellow himalayan raspberry

The variety of raspberries known as yellow himalayan raspberry

UNSPSC 50306228 Yellow himalayan raspberry is a Commodity code representing a single fruit product type that state and local governments procure through school nutrition programs, child care food service operations, and institutional food service contracts. Recent state and local solicitations show this code applied to broader fresh produce procurement categories rather than yellow himalayan raspberries specifically—the opportunities cite raspberry as one line item among dozens of produce varieties in comprehensive food service bids. The mix of issuing bodies is predominantly school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Dougherty County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Henry County Schools, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, Central Point School District in Oregon, and Austin Independent School District in Texas) alongside child care food programs (City of Edinburg, Texas; Head Start of Greater Dallas), senior services (City of San Antonio), and school nutrition cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with notable activity in Florida, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Oregon, and California.

Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (bids due July 29, 2026), which specifies produce sourced within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin with ready-to-eat processing and traceability documentation required; the GEC Buying Cooperative RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across two Georgia geographic areas (proposals due March 4, 2026) covering approximately 72 line items including berries with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined; Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed-bid procurement for fresh produce serving 24 school nutrition sites (bids due June 16, 2026); and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, serving approximately 18 elementary schools with cost-plus fixed-fee contracting (proposals due March 11, 2026, with estimated annual budget of $600,000). Most opportunities are issued as IFB or RFP with annual contract terms, weekly or bi-weekly delivery requirements, Buy American compliance mandates, HACCP plan and food safety documentation requirements, and insurance minimums typically ranging from $500,000 to $2 million in general liability coverage. The code shows active procurement momentum across school nutrition and child care food service channels, particularly in the South and Southwest.
