UNSPSC 50336223: Dried organic sweet cultivated raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50336223 Dried organic sweet cultivated raspberry is a Commodity code that state and local governments—primarily school districts through their nutrition programs—procure as part of broader fresh produce and grocery supply contracts. The recent opportunities demonstrate minimal direct procurement of dried raspberries as a standalone line item; instead, raspberries appear incidentally within comprehensive produce bids that encompass dozens to hundreds of food products across fresh, frozen, and dried categories. School districts dominate the buying pattern, issuing IFBs and RFPs annually to establish fixed-price contracts for nutrition services. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia all solicited multi-item grocery and produce contracts in recent months. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) also procures food items for incarcerated populations, including dried fruits, and Santa Clara County California procured dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans) for its correctional facility. Buy American requirements mandating at least 51 percent domestic content appear consistently across school nutrition contracts; HACCP plans, food safety certifications, and product nutritional data are standard submission requirements.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic—Georgia in particular hosts multiple school district solicitations (Hancock, Liberty, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas) with response dates ranging from early April through late June 2026. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood School District (Missouri), and Santa Clara County (California) round out the geographic spread. The Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs, issued through the GEC Buying Cooperative, represents one of the larger recent opportunities at approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending across 30 school districts in two Georgia areas, with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB, due June 26, 2026, covered over 200 line items including raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries, requiring delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. Fairfax County Public Schools issued a Master Grocery K-12 IFB due April 27, 2026, requiring bidders to commit to a minimum 76 items from the school delivery section across 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens. These contracts are annual, renewable for one to four additional years at district discretion, with firm pricing throughout the initial term and post-award price adjustments permitted only for documented manufacturer cost increases or, in some cases, indexed to regional consumer price data.
