UNSPSC 50336207: Dried organic focke grayleaf red raspberry

The variety of organic raspberries known as organic focke grayleaf red raspberry that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50336207 Dried organic focke grayleaf red raspberry, a Commodity code, encompasses the procurement of specialty dried fruit products for use in institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show minimal activity directly aligned with the code's specific product specification. School districts and regional correctional food service operations are the primary buyers, procuring dried fruits and nuts to support breakfast, lunch, and detention facility meal programs. The scope typically involves sourcing prepackaged dried fruit items meeting nutritional specifications — zero added sugars, calorie limits between 110–125 per serving, USDA compliance, and food safety certifications including HACCP plans and recall accessibility. Issuing bodies include school nutrition programs across multiple states, county school systems acting through cooperative purchasing agreements, and county correctional facilities. School districts dominate the activity, with most solicitations tagged as IFB or RFP notices requiring sealed bids or formal proposals for annual contracts spanning July through June fiscal years.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in Georgia and scattered solicitations in California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Texas. The County of Santa Clara, California issued an ITB for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans) with a five-year contract term, 10–15 day lead times, and delivery to a correctional facility in Milpitas, with bids due February 5, 2026. Georgia school districts—including Hancock County Schools (IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce including raspberries and other berries, bids due June 26, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education (IFB for 400+ food items including fresh produce, due April 29, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34 for 72 fresh produce items, due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated spending of $5.5 million, proposals due March 4, 2026)—represent the heaviest recent bidding activity. Most school district solicitations require Buy American compliance, firm pricing for 12-month periods, weekly deliveries to multiple school sites, and USDA nutrition standards. The code shows limited recent bid volume specifically for dried raspberries; most activity clusters around broader fresh produce and general grocery item contracts that may incidentally include dried fruit components but are not primarily focused on single specialty dried fruit commodities.
