UNSPSC 50326214: Dried leucodermis whitebark raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50326214 Dried leucodermis whitebark raspberry is a Commodity code that covers procurement of dried berry products for state and local institutional food service operations, primarily school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers under this code are acquiring fresh and processed produce as part of broader school lunch and institutional cafeteria supply contracts rather than as standalone dried-raspberry line items; the code sits within a larger basket of fresh and frozen fruits, vegetables, proteins, and staple food commodities. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Schools, Georgia), city education departments (Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut), state correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state-level procurement authorities acting on behalf of multiple agencies. All recent solicitations enforce the Buy American Provision, requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products, and mandate HACCP plans, USDA compliance, E-Verify authorization, and comprehensive insurance. School district and city nutrition centers typically require advance appointment scheduling, Monday–Friday delivery windows, and FOB Destination or delivery-prepaid terms with firm fixed pricing for the contract year.

Geographic activity centers on the South and Upper Midwest, with recent solicitations from Georgia (Hancock County Schools IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026; State of Georgia PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport BNB053266, due June 26, 2026), and Texas (TDCJ IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026, and prunes solicitation IW236532). The Hancock County and Bridgeport solicitations together specify over 315 line items of fresh produce across multiple categories—berries including raspberry, apples, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, citrus, and specialty fruits—with delivery to three Hancock locations and the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center in Bridgeport. The TDCJ cafeteria-products contract encompasses approximately 382 line items including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, and canned vegetables with distribution across five Texas geographic areas and a contract term through August 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals. The code shows limited standalone activity for dried raspberry specifically; most recent opportunities bundle dried or processed berry products within larger composite food-supply contracts rather than isolating this commodity line.
