UNSPSC 50336227: Dried organic wine raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50336227 Dried organic wine raspberry is a Commodity code that represents specialized dried fruit products state and local governments procure for food service and nutrition programs. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reveal that school districts, state corrections departments, and municipal nutrition centers are buying dried fruits — including dried raspberries, prunes, and other preserved fruits — as components of cafeteria menus, institutional food supply contracts, and meal-program line items. The work encompasses sourcing USDA-compliant dried produce meeting specified grade standards (typically Grade A or Grade B), packaging in food-service quantities, and delivery to institutional warehouses or distribution centers. School districts and state corrections agencies dominate the issuing bodies, driven by National School Lunch Act compliance requirements (Buy American Provision mandating 51 percent domestic content for processed products) and institutional procurement cycles. Vendors must provide USDA grade certificates, HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, nutritional data, and maintain cold-chain and emergency-delivery backup capability where applicable.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB in June 2026 for fresh produce including raspberries and other berries for the 2026–27 school year, with delivery to three school sites and response due June 26, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted a commodities IFB in June 2026 for the Board of Education Nutrition Center covering 115 line items of food products, due June 26, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including dried fruits and specialty items, with delivery to six TDCJ distribution points and response due May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2). The same Texas agency also solicited whole, pitted, dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532) for the Corpus Christi location with a February 20, 2026 response deadline. The code shows active procurement cycles aligned with school-year and institutional budget calendars.
