UNSPSC 50336200: Dried organic raspberries

Any of various usually black or red edible berries that are aggregate fruits consisting of numerous small drupes on a fleshy receptacle and that are usually rounder and smaller than the closely related blackberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50336200 Dried organic raspberries, a Class code, captures school nutrition and institutional foodservice procurement of dried berries and related dried fruit products for cafeteria operations and meal programs. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show school districts and state agencies buying dried raspberries and other preserved fruits as components of broader commodity food packages for student nutrition and institutional kitchen operations. The work spans individual line-item bids for specific dried fruit items alongside larger multi-category food procurement RFQs and IFBs that bundle produce, proteins, dairy, and shelf-stable goods. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, city education departments, state departments of criminal justice, and state-level procurement offices acting on behalf of corrections and nutrition programs. Buy American provisions mandating minimum domestic content (typically 51 percent for processed products) appear consistently across school nutrition solicitations, and MBE/CBE certifications are required in some jurisdictions.
