UNSPSC 50316200: Organic raspberries

The type of organic fruit known as organic raspberry

UNSPSC 50316200 Organic raspberries, a Class code, covers the supply of fresh organic raspberries and related fresh-produce procurement for state and local institutional food service operations, including school nutrition programs, county parks and recreation food concessions, healthcare facility produce supply, and specialized institutional meal-service contracts. State and local governments acquire organic raspberries as line items within broader fresh-produce or fresh-fruit solicitations; the code appears in practice as part of mixed-commodity food-service buys rather than as standalone raspberry-only procurements. Issuing bodies include school districts, county boards of education, county parks and recreation divisions, and healthcare coalitions. School districts represent the dominant buyer segment under this and related produce codes, driven by USDA National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements and the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grant funding.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Wisconsin, with secondary representation in Florida. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) posted two separate produce RFBs in July 2026—one for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, $78,000 annual value) and one for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, sourcing within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin). Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requested bids on over 200 line items of fresh produce including raspberries for the 2026-27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026, spanning apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, and specialty items with delivery to three school locations). Bartow County School System (Georgia) sought local fresh fruits and vegetables from farms within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026, contract term July 20, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options). Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items including fresh produce (bids due June 8, 2026, contract July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027). Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park and concession facilities (ITN 258360, due March 6, 2025). Geographic sourcing preferences and Buy American provisions appear consistently across school district procurements; organic certification, local-sourcing mandates within 400 miles, and seasonal-availability requirements are common evaluation drivers.
