UNSPSC 50316203: Organic black raspberry

The variety of organic raspberries know as organic black raspberry

UNSPSC 50316203 Organic black raspberry is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity indexed under it. The recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations for organic black raspberries or any other berry products meeting the code's nominal scope. Instead, the indexed opportunities cover general fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, including apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, and eggs—commodity purchases that fall outside the organic black raspberry category. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the mismatch between the code's specificity and the general produce solicitations suggests either a cataloging inconsistency in the state and local procurement systems or that organic black raspberry is not a material line item in current school food service RFPs and IFBs.

The recent opportunities themselves—all posted between February and July 2026—reflect heavy school nutrition program purchasing from multiple Georgia school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Glynn County, Douglas County), Texas districts (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), and Florida (Hillsborough County), with additional solicitations from the State of Georgia and state-level cooperative buying vehicles. School districts are soliciting fresh produce through RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs with response dates typically 30 to 45 days out, emphasizing USDA compliance, HACCP plans, Buy American provisions, local sourcing preferences where feasible, and weekly delivery to multiple school sites. Buyers are evaluating vendors on cost (typically 30 to 50 percent of scoring), product quality and availability, delivery reliability, and compliance certifications. This code itself—specific to organic black raspberries—does not appear to drive purchasing decisions in the current market, and business development professionals should verify the actual commodity scope before investing pursuit effort.
