UNSPSC 50326200: Dried raspberries

Any of various usually black or red edible berries that are aggregate fruits consisting of numerous small drupes on a fleshy receptacle and that are usually rounder and smaller than the closely related blackberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50326200 Dried raspberries (Class) does not reflect the scope of recent state and local procurement activity under this code. The most recent opportunities in the source are overwhelmingly broad fresh produce, frozen food, and commodity supply contracts for school nutrition programs, detention facilities, and related public entities, with dried raspberries appearing in only one itemized list among dozens of produce line items. The code's nominal scope—a single dried fruit product—does not align with the mixed-category, multi-hundred-line-item contracts that dominate current solicitation activity. Issuers include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Fairfax County in Virginia, Liberty County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia), state agencies (Georgia Department of Education, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller), a county corrections system (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office), and a city education authority (Bridgeport, Connecticut). The geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and the Southeast, with additional activity in Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, California, and Virginia.

Recent representative opportunities reflect the actual purchasing pattern. The Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 IFB (due June 26, 2026) solicits over 200 line items spanning multiple apple varieties, berries including raspberry, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, and tomatoes for July 2026 through June 2027 delivery to three school locations. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice Cafeteria Food Products IFB (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) encompasses approximately 382 line items including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, condiments, canned and fresh vegetables, and fruits for delivery across five geographic areas. The Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery bid (due April 29, 2026) includes over 900 line items—snacks, fruits, vegetables, breads, grains, cereals, dairy, beverages, condiments, meats, and prepared entrees. The Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) covers approximately 72 produce items serving 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated spending near $5.5 million. The Santa Clara County ITB for dried fruits and nuts (due February 5, 2026) is the closest match to the code's scope, requiring dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis for a five-year term with local business preference. No recent opportunities focused exclusively on dried raspberries are present in the source.
