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 nominally addresses dried raspberries, yet recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity specifically targeting this product. School districts, county boards of education, and correctional facilities are the primary issuing bodies soliciting under related dried fruit and produce codes, but the recent opportunities block contains no active bids or RFPs explicitly for dried raspberries. Instead, procurement activity clusters around fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables), grocery staples for school nutrition and institutional food service, and broader dried fruit categories that encompass raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mixes, walnuts, and pecans. The code's nominal scope does not align closely with the actual procurement mix seen in the dataset, which is dominated by fresh produce contracts rather than specialty dried items.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Texas, with secondary presence in California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. The County of Santa Clara, California issued an ITB for dried fruits and nuts (including raisins, cranberries, and mixed tropical fruit) due February 5, 2026, but no solicitation names dried raspberries specifically. Douglas County School System in Georgia released an RFP for fresh produce and eggs (RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative) due March 4, 2026, spanning two regions and two estimated annual values of approximately $4.4 million and $1.1 million; Hancock County Schools in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce (sealed bids due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items including berries but not expressly dried raspberries. Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri both solicited master grocery and child nutrition grocery contracts in April and May 2026, respectively, encompassing hundreds of line items but again emphasizing fresh and frozen products rather than specialty dried fruit. The code shows little relevant recent activity; dried raspberry procurement does not surface as a distinct line item in the opportunities reviewed.
