UNSPSC 50326216: Dried peck barton's raspberry

The variety of raspberries known as peck barton's raspberry that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50326216 Dried peck barton's raspberry is a Commodity code that describes dried raspberry products used in state and local procurement, though recent school nutrition solicitations show minimal market activity for this specific dried variety. School districts and state agencies buying under food service codes instead focus on fresh produce — including fresh raspberries across multiple varieties — and dried fruits as ingredients within broader cafeteria food bundles rather than as standalone line items. When dried fruits appear, they are typically bundled with other commodities (canned goods, preserved items, baking supplies) in larger food service RFQs and IFBs rather than solicited as individual specialty produce SKUs. State and local nutrition programs do purchase dried fruits, but the sourcing patterns reflect seasonal fresh-produce-first procurement supplemented by processed alternatives; isolated dried-raspberry bids are not typical in current activity.

Recent opportunities across Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas show school districts and state agencies (Hancock County Schools, City of Bridgeport Board of Education, State of Georgia, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice) issuing RFQs and IFBs for broader food-service categories through June 2026, all emphasizing Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content minimum for processed goods) and compliance with USDA grade standards. Hancock County Schools issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items (including fresh raspberries, berries, and specialty fruits) with delivery to three school sites and a June 26, 2026 response deadline. The City of Bridgeport issued RFQ BNB053266 for 115 line items of school nutrition commodities (eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit/vegetable products) due June 26, 2026, requiring MBE/CBE certification eligibility. Texas TDCJ issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 cafeteria food items (proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, canned and fresh vegetables, and miscellaneous staples) with responses due May 4, 2026. A separate Texas TDCJ bid (IW236532) solicited whole, pitted, dried prunes (U.S. Grade B, 60–70 count) with a 1,400-box minimum order, though the posting date precedes the due date in the record. No recent opportunities specifically solicit dried raspberries as a discrete line item.
