UNSPSC 50336217: Dried organic purpleflowering raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50336217 Dried organic purpleflowering raspberry is a Commodity code that names a specific agricultural product, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of this particular item. Instead, the code appears to be misapplied across a wider range of food-service commodities and produce categories spanning school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and state food-supply contracts. Hancock County Schools in Georgia, the City of Bridgeport Connecticut Department of Public Purchases, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have posted solicitations tagged with or related to this code over the past five months, but their actual scope encompasses fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes), proteins (beef, poultry, fish), dairy, grains, condiments, and miscellaneous kitchen staples — not dried organic purpleflowering raspberry specifically. All solicitations enforce Buy American or domestic-content requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic ingredients for processed products under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act), require USDA compliance and grade certification, and mandate HACCP food-safety plans, liability insurance, and standard debarment verification.

The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and correctional agencies, with one state-level procurement. Hancock County Schools in Georgia posted IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce delivery to three school locations with a June 26, 2026 response date; the City of Bridgeport Connecticut's Department of Public Purchases posted a commodities IFB due June 26, 2026 for delivery to its nutrition center; the State of Georgia posted a food-supply IFB due June 22, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products due May 4, 2026, with delivery to six distribution points across five geographic areas. A Texas TDCJ bid for dried prunes posted in April 2026 with an original due date of February 20, 2026 represents the closest item-specific match to the code's nominal scope, but the mismatch between the code name and the actual solicitations suggests either systematic mistagging at the source or that this code is functioning as a catch-all for institutional food procurement rather than as a code for a specific product line.
