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 is a Class code. State and local governments procure dried raspberries primarily through school nutrition programs and correctional facility food services. Recent solicitations show raspberries appearing as line items within larger fresh and dried produce RFBs rather than as standalone commodity buys. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 requesting bids on fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year that included raspberry among 200+ line items spanning multiple fruit and vegetable categories; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases similarly solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center through an IFB with a due date of June 26, 2026, encompassing fruit and vegetable products alongside proteins and dairy. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) has issued separate IFBs for cafeteria food products and dried prunes for correctional facilities. School districts and state corrections departments represent the primary issuing bodies under this code, with nutrition procurement offices serving as the contracting points of contact.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with school nutrition programs driving the majority of visible procurement volume. Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB (response due June 26, 2026) and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center commodities RFQ (due June 26, 2026) both required Buy American compliance with a minimum of 51 percent domestic content for processed products and specified delivery to designated school sites. The TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB (response extended to May 4, 2026) encompassed approximately 382 line items with delivery to six distribution points across Texas. These opportunities reflect firm pricing for multi-month contract periods and standard payment terms of Net 30 to Net 45 days. Vendors responding to school nutrition RFBs must provide HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and food safety documentation; corrections-focused solicitations require USDA grade certification and compliance with federal food safety standards.
