UNSPSC 50326205: Dried delicious raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50326205 Dried delicious raspberry is a Commodity code capturing dried-fruit procurement by state and local food service operations, primarily school nutrition programs and correctional facilities that incorporate dried raspberries into meal components, snacks, or prepared foods. Recent solicitations show school districts sourcing dried raspberries as part of broader dried-fruit or fresh-produce buys, and at least one correctional facility (Santa Clara County, California) procuring dried fruits including mixed tropical blends with similar nutritional and packaging specifications. The code sits within a broader ecosystem of fruit and vegetable procurement where dried raspberries compete directly with other dried fruits—raisins, cranberries, tropical mixes—and dried nuts as shelf-stable, nutrient-dense additions to institutional menus. Buy American requirements at 51 percent domestic content for processed products, USDA compliance mandates, food safety certifications (HACCP, recall procedures), and firm pricing through contract periods are standard across these solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in school district nutrition programs across Georgia and adjacent regions, with secondary activity in county correctional food services. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce covering berries including raspberries with a June 26, 2026 response deadline; the Douglas County School System (Georgia) procured fresh produce and eggs through RFP SN 26-004 for 30 districts across two areas with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending and a March 4, 2026 proposal deadline; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) bid 26-34 for fresh produce including 72 line items with April 23, 2026 sealed-bid due date; and Santa Clara County (California) issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts to the Department of Correction—Food Services facility in Milpitas with a February 5, 2026 deadline. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, supplemented by county purchasing offices on their behalf. No incumbent vendors or substantial budget disclosures appear across these records, and no formal set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are named in the available documentation, though business classification requirements are routine.
