UNSPSC 50326210: Dried gold raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50326210 Dried gold raspberry is a Commodity code covering dried berry products procured by state and local jurisdictions, predominantly school districts and state agencies for food service operations. The recent solicitation activity shows school nutrition programs and correctional facilities purchasing dried fruits as components of broader food-service commodity contracts rather than as standalone line items. Hancock County Schools in Georgia's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce across the 2026-27 school year included raspberries (fresh, not dried) as one of over 200 produce line items; the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 commodities bid to supply its Board of Education Nutrition Center encompassed fruit and vegetable products with unspecified dried-fruit components; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in April 2026 issued a standalone IFB (Bid No. IW236532) for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality (60-70 count), packed 25 pounds per box, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for its Corpus Christi location. School districts and state correctional systems drive the volume; both typically enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products and mandate USDA grade certification, HACCP compliance, and comprehensive vendor documentation.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas based on recent postings. The Hancock County Schools opportunity (Sparta, Georgia) with bids due June 26, 2026, represents school-district demand; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) commodities IFB, also closing June 26, 2026, reflects municipal nutrition procurement; and the TDCJ prunes IFB (Corpus Christi, Texas), with amended close date February 20, 2026, and the broader TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB (May 4, 2026 close, delivery to six Texas warehouse locations) show state correctional system activity. The State of Georgia's May 2026 food supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) remains available but with limited scope detail in the public summary. School lunch and correctional food service appear to be the primary use cases; neither RFP nor detailed commodity-level breakouts in most recent notices make dried raspberries alone a visible procurement line, though they surface within broader produce and commodity aggregations under IFB and sealed-bid formats typical of school districts and state agencies.
