UNSPSC 50326227: Dried wine raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50326227 Dried wine raspberry, a Commodity code, covers dried fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. School districts and state agencies buying this code are sourcing dried raspberries and related dried berry products as ingredients or standalone items for cafeteria menus, often bundled with fresh produce, frozen entrees, and commodity proteins in broader food-service solicitations. The scope reflects actual procurement of shelf-stable dried fruit aligned with USDA nutrition standards and Buy American requirements, where applicable, rather than fresh-picked items.

School districts in Georgia and Connecticut dominate recent activity under this code. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning multiple berry varieties including dried raspberries (due June 26, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut requested commodities for school nutrition with a June 26, 2026 deadline; the State of Georgia issued a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted multiple food-service IFBs, including one for dried prunes meeting USDA Grade B standards (February 20, 2026). These solicitations specify sealed-bid procurement with firm pricing through contract terms running into 2027, delivery to designated institutional locations, HACCP or USDA compliance documentation, and payment within 30–45 days of receipt and inspection. MBE/CBE and Buy American provisions appear in school district and municipal solicitations. Geographic activity centers in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut, with secondary activity in state-level institutional food procurement.
