UNSPSC 50326205: Dried delicious raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50326205 Dried delicious raspberry, a Commodity code, covers dried berry products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying dried raspberries alongside fresh berries and other produce as components of broader food supply contracts rather than as standalone line items, typically embedded within multi-category food commodities RFQs and IFBs. The work involves supplying pre-packaged dried fruit meeting USDA grade specifications, with compliance requirements including HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, nutritional labeling, product formulation statements, and proof of domestic agricultural content where Buy American provisions apply. Contracts run annual or multi-year terms with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and payment expected within 30–45 days of receipt and inspection. School districts and state departments of corrections are the primary buying bodies, alongside state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple using agencies.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with supporting opportunities in Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce across over 200 line items including raspberry, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, for delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center via electronic submission due June 26, 2026, under IFB BNB053266, with MBE/CBE certification applicable. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) with bids due June 22, 2026. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, procuring on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across 382 line items with response extended to May 4, 2026; TDCJ also issued Bid No. IW236532 for whole, pitted, dried prunes with a revised due date of February 20, 2026. The code sees limited standalone activity; most recent opportunities treat dried raspberries as commodity components within larger institutional food supply contracts.
