UNSPSC 50316201: Organic american red raspberry

The variety of organic raspberries known as organic american red raspberries

UNSPSC 50316201 Organic american red raspberry, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for organic red raspberries or any other organic berries. Instead, the opportunities are dominated by school nutrition procurements for broad fresh produce assortments—including conventional (not organic) bananas, apples, mixed vegetables, and berries—issued by school districts and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles across Georgia, Texas, and Florida. The mismatch suggests either that organic raspberries are purchased infrequently under this code at the state and local level, or that issuing bodies tag such procurements to broader commodity families rather than to this specific Commodity code.

The recent activity that does appear under or near this code reflects steady demand from school districts and cooperative purchasing consortia for fresh produce to supply National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations, along with USDA-funded Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program initiatives. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 (petite bananas, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 (fresh produce spanning 200+ line items including berries, due June 26, 2026), Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (fresh produce and eggs for 30 districts, approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending, due March 4, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFPDST (FFVP specialty fruits and vegetables, cost-plus fixed-fee model, estimated annual budget $600,000, due March 11, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with additional solicitations from Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD) and Florida (Hillsborough County). If your firm supplies organic berries specifically, this code's current posting volume does not support a pursue recommendation; monitor broader produce-family codes (50310000 or 50300000 levels) and school nutrition RFPs for organic-preference language in technical specifications instead.
