UNSPSC 50326225: Dried west indian raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50326225 Dried west indian raspberry is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty dried fruits for institutional food service, though recent solicitation activity does not reflect purchases of dried west indian raspberries specifically. The code sits within broader dried-fruit procurement by school districts, county and state corrections agencies, and public health departments supplying cafeterias, nutrition programs, and detention facilities. Recent solicitations show school nutrition programs dominating the activity, with buys spanning fresh and dried produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods in support of K-12 lunch and breakfast programs. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, County of Santa Clara Sheriff's Department, and state prison systems also source dried fruits and nuts for inmate food service. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, county school boards, state departments of education, state corrections agencies, and county sheriffs' offices. School districts appear as the primary repeat buyers, with multi-site food service operations requiring ongoing produce and specialty-item supply.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with Hancock County, Liberty County, Douglas County, and Savannah-Chatham County school systems all issuing fresh-produce and food-supply IFBs and RFPs between February and June 2026; Texas corrections procurement (Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts) and California county corrections (Santa Clara County Sheriff) round out the recent sample. Recent representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition issuing IFB SN002-2027 for over 200 fresh-produce line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara, California issuing ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans) with bids due February 5, 2026. The Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, and sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51-percent domestic content for processed products and HACCP compliance appear consistently across school nutrition solicitations.
