UNSPSC 50316223: Organic sweet cultivated raspberry

The variety of organic raspberry known as organic sweet cultivated raspberry

UNSPSC 50316223 Organic sweet cultivated raspberry, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local contract opportunities currently being solicited. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for raspberries, whether organic or conventional. Recent state and local procurement activity under codes associated with fresh produce procurement centers instead on broad fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts serving school nutrition programs, child nutrition initiatives, and farm-to-school programs across multiple jurisdictions. The mismatch between this commodity code and active solicitation activity suggests that raspberries — particularly organic raspberries as a single-line item — do not appear frequently enough in state and local purchasing to generate standalone or identifiable contract opportunities at present.

School districts, county boards of education, and municipal food service operations across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida are actively procuring fresh produce through competitive bid processes (IFB, RFP, RFQ), but these solicitations treat raspberries, when included at all, as line items within larger produce portfolios spanning apples, bananas, berries (strawberries, blackberries, grapes), broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, and dozens of other items. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026, covering 200+ fresh produce line items), Bulloch County School District (RFP for local produce within 200 miles, due May 4, 2026), and Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative, due March 4, 2026, covering approximately 72 produce line items with estimated spending of $5.5 million across 30 districts in two geographic areas). Absent direct evidence of standalone organic raspberry procurement, business development activity should focus on broader fresh produce supply relationships or cooperative purchasing vehicles rather than pursuit at this narrow commodity tier.
