UNSPSC 50316204: Organic dark raspberry

The variety of organic raspberries known as organic dark raspberry

UNSPSC 50316204 Organic dark raspberry is a Commodity code that reflects state and local procurement of fresh berries and specialty produce items for food service operations. The code appears in school district and county park procurement activity, though the recent opportunities show broader produce sourcing rather than items specifically coded to organic dark raspberry. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Bartow County School System each posting multiple solicitations for fresh fruit and vegetable items; county government and county health coalitions also procure produce, as evidenced by Collier County's park concession RFP and Marion Health Care Coalition's produce vendor proposal request. The scope of work spans fresh-produce supply contracts for school meal programs and other food service venues, with vendors expected to meet food safety compliance, delivery timelines, quality standards, and seasonal availability requirements. Contracts typically run through a fiscal or calendar year with optional renewal periods, and pricing is often held firm for the contract duration with escalation or de-escalation reviewed on a periodic basis using USDA or consumer price indices.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin, with additional procurement in Florida and South Carolina. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 fresh-produce line items (berries, citrus, cruciferous and root vegetables, specialty fruits) across three school delivery sites, bids due June 26, 2026; Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas at 70–90 cases weekly with annual contract value estimated at $78,000, bids due July 29, 2026; Madison's parallel RFB for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Wisconsin with a $0.20 per pound organic-produce preference discount, bids due July 29, 2026; and Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables from farms within 400 miles, proposals due June 22, 2026. School nutrition programs frequently apply geographic preferences, organic discounts, diverse-owned business set-asides, and Buy American provisions. Delivery windows are tight (often early morning between 5:00 a.m. and 7:30 a.m.), and HACCP plans, liability insurance ($500,000 to $1 million depending on jurisdiction), E-Verify compliance, and recall procedures are standard contract requirements.
