UNSPSC 50326201 Dried american red raspberry is a Commodity code that state and local governments acquire primarily as part of broader food service and nutrition programs for schools, correctional facilities, and other institutional operations. Recent solicitations under this code reflect procurement of dried raspberries as components of school lunch programs, institutional cafeteria operations, and multi-commodity food service contracts where the item appears among dozens of produce and food product line items. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state correctional agencies procuring food supplies for nutrition centers and institutional dining. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh and dried produce including raspberry varieties for the 2026–27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027, while the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple food commodity contracts where dried fruits appear as line items alongside proteins, vegetables, and staple foods. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases and the State of Georgia have also recently posted multi-category food supply RFPs that include fruit and vegetable products. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products appear consistently across school nutrition solicitations, and vendors must meet HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, USDA compliance, and standard commercial general liability insurance thresholds.
