UNSPSC 50326228 Dried yellow himalayan raspberry is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure dried fruit and specialty produce items for school nutrition programs, institutional food services, and cafeteria operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and state corrections departments sourcing dried fruits—including prunes, berries, and related specialty items—as line items within broader fresh and processed produce acquisitions. The work involves vendor compliance with USDA quality grades, Buy American domestic-content requirements (typically 51 percent minimum for processed products), HACCP food safety protocols, E-Verify authorization, and delivery to multiple institutional locations on firm fixed pricing with transportation included. School nutrition programs and state institutional food services are the primary issuing bodies, with IFBs being the standard notice type.
