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 that does not show meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The single opportunity in the recent dataset—Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas, posted July 8, 2026, with bids due July 29, 2026—is explicitly for bananas, not raspberries. While that RFB and a companion Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks solicitation (RFB 4163) confirm that school districts in Wisconsin and across the state/local sector actively procure fresh produce for nutrition programs, neither solicitation targets the specific commodity of organic yellow himalayan raspberries. The code's nominal scope appears disconnected from the recent purchasing signals in the data, suggesting either very limited demand for this specific fruit variety in the state and local market or possible miscategorization in posted opportunities.

State and local procurement of fresh produce—when captured under related commodity and class codes—centers on bulk fruit and vegetable supply for school nutrition programs, including National School Lunch Program and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program support. School districts from Wisconsin to Georgia and Texas post regular RFBs, RFPs, and IFBs for multi-item produce contracts with response dates typically spanning 30 to 60 days from posting. Recent activity shows issuing bodies concentrated in school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn County, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Douglas County) and one state procurement (Georgia Department of Education). These solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP plan certification, weekly delivery logistics, and competitive pricing indexed to USDA wholesale market reports. If organic himalayan raspberries have demand in this market, it would likely emerge under broader fresh produce contracts rather than as a standalone commodity line item; firms pursuing specialty organic fruit varieties should monitor school district nutrition RFPs and cooperative purchasing vehicle postings rather than relying on this specific code to surface opportunities.
