UNSPSC 50336218: Dried organic roadside raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50336218 Dried organic roadside raspberry is a Commodity code that captures dried fruit procurement for institutional food service — specifically school nutrition programs, state departments, and corrections facilities buying dried fruit as a component of larger meal-service contracts. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments procure dried raspberry as part of broader fresh and processed produce buys rather than as a standalone line item, though the code tags individual dried-fruit commodities within meal-supply contracts. School districts and state nutrition departments dominate the issuing bodies, with one solicitation explicitly listing raspberry among multiple berry varieties (blackberry, pineberry, strawberry) in a fresh-produce bid.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Connecticut. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year with a due date of June 26, 2026, specifying over 200 line items including raspberry among berry selections, with delivery to three school sites and contract running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB053266 for commodities to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center by June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items across multiple produce categories under Buy American and MBE/CBE preference requirements. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to multiple warehouse locations across five geographic areas with a due date of May 4, 2026. The code shows limited standalone dried-fruit activity; most procurement occurs within aggregated produce and food-service contracts where line-item specificity for dried raspberry is rare.
