UNSPSC 50326212: Dried jepson whitebark raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50326212 Dried jepson whitebark raspberry is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty dried fruit products, though recent solicitations show the code is being applied primarily to broader fresh and processed produce categories rather than this specific raspberry variety. School districts dominate the issuing bodies under this code, with nutrition departments and cafeteria services seeking produce, dairy, proteins, and specialty food items as part of annual nutrition supply contracts. The State of Georgia, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and municipal school boards are active buyers. The scope of work encompasses fresh produce delivery (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, leafy greens, melons, specialty fruits), processed proteins (beef, chicken, turkey, fish), dairy products, grains, condiments, and miscellaneous staple items. Contracts typically run for one school or fiscal year with firm fixed pricing, require HACCP plans or USDA compliance documentation, mandate Buy American provisions with minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed goods, and enforce delivery to multiple school sites or cafeteria centers with scheduled appointment-based drop-off windows. Payment terms run 30 to 45 days from receipt of properly invoiced goods.

Hancock County Schools in Georgia (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026) represent the most recent activity under the code, both calling for sealed bids on fresh and specialty produce spanning 115 to 200+ line items with summer-through-summer contract periods and MBE/CBE certifications applicable in Bridgeport. The State of Georgia issued a parallel solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) for food supplies and kitchen products, while the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) sought approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution points, with awards made per line item on best-value criteria and a 1.5 percent Texas SmartBuy administrative fee applied. Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with procurement cycles tightly clustered around late May through June for school year 2026–27 purchasing.
