UNSPSC 50316228: Organic yellow himalayan raspberry

The variety of organic raspberry known as organic yellow himalayan raspberry

UNSPSC 50316228 Organic yellow himalayan raspberry is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fresh produce for food service operations—specifically fresh fruits, vegetables, and specialty items sourced according to regional, organic, or seasonal requirements. Recent solicitations show school districts, county park systems, and health-care coalitions buying fresh produce through RFB, RFP, and ITN vehicles, with delivery specifications tied to food-safety compliance, temperature control, traceability, and ripeness or quality standards. The work spans both commodity procurement (bulk fresh fruit and vegetable supply to school cafeterias and park concessions) and specialty sourcing (organic produce, local-farm sourcing within defined mileage radii, and ready-to-eat prepared-produce snacks). Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Early County, Bartow County), county park systems (Collier County), county boards of education, health-care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state-level aggregated procurement (Georgia state food-supply bid).

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest, with significant volume in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and State of Georgia produce bids all posted between May and June 2026) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District petite-banana and fresh-fruit-snack RFBs, July 2026). Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly during school year, estimated annual value $78,000, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty fruit (contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, sealed bids due June 26, 2026), and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles of the system (contract term July 20, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with options for four one-year renewals, deadline June 22, 2026). School districts consistently apply Buy American provisions, domestic-sourcing preferences, organic-product price preferences, and local-vendor mileage caps; most require HACCP plans, E-Verify enrollment, commercial liability insurance ($500,000–$1,000,000), and traceability documentation by farm of origin.
