UNSPSC 50326203: Dried black raspberry

The variety of raspberries known as black raspberry that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50326203 Dried black raspberry, a Commodity code, sees modest recent state and local activity concentrated in school nutrition procurement. What state and local governments actually buy under this code spans fresh and processed produce for child nutrition programs, with dried fruits and nuts appearing as line items within broader grocery and produce solicitations rather than as standalone procurements. The issuing bodies are predominantly K-12 school districts and county boards of education, with occasional participation from state corrections departments and county sheriff's offices seeking food supplies for detained populations. School districts dominate the recent opportunities, including Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia), each issuing annual or multi-year food supply contracts. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Santa Clara County (California) also solicit dried fruits under food procurement vehicles.

Recent opportunities show dried black raspberry appearing as a component of broader fresh produce, grocery, and dried fruit line-item solicitations rather than as a dedicated commodity. Hancock County Schools' IFB for Fresh Produce (SY27) posted June 10, 2026 with response due June 26, 2026 includes berries across multiple varieties; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323), posted April 6, 2026 with response due April 27, 2026, encompasses over 200 produce items for delivery to 45 schools plus distribution centers; Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery solicitation for 2026-27, posted March 31, 2026 with response due April 29, 2026, spans over 900 line items including fruits; Liberty County Board of Education's food IFB, posted March 30, 2026 with response due April 29, 2026, covers 400 items across fresh and frozen produce categories; and Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617), posted January 28, 2026 with response due February 5, 2026, explicitly solicited dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis for correctional facility food services. Geographic concentration centers on Georgia (multiple school districts and Liberty County) and extends to Virginia (Fairfax County), Missouri (Rockwood), Texas (TDCJ), and California (Santa Clara County). All Buy American requirements apply, with most school contracts mandating domestic content thresholds of at least 51 percent for processed products and firm fixed pricing throughout the contract term.
