UNSPSC 50326223: Dried sweet cultivated raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50326223 Dried sweet cultivated raspberry is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure dried raspberries primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show that dried raspberries are typically bought as line items within larger fresh and dried produce portfolios for school lunch programs, correctional facilities, and state food supply contracts. The code covers whole, pitted dried raspberries meeting USDA Grade B specifications and standard packaging and handling requirements. School districts represent the primary category of issuing bodies soliciting under this code, though state-level procurement on behalf of institutional food service operations also occurs. Contracts require compliance with Buy American provisions mandating minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed agricultural products, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, USDA grade certification, and delivery to specified locations with firm pricing throughout the contract term.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Connecticut and multi-state federal cooperative purchasing.
