UNSPSC 50346217: Frozen purpleflowering raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50346217 Frozen purpleflowering raspberry is a Commodity code that does not see material recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's narrow scope — a single specialty produce variant — misaligns with the actual buying patterns visible in recent solicitations tagged to this code. The state and local contract opportunities posted since January 2026 show school districts, state health agencies, county corrections systems, and child nutrition programs purchasing frozen berries as one component within broader food service RFPs, not as standalone line items under this specific code. The largest relevant procurement, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables statewide, includes frozen products across multiple categories but does not isolate frozen purpleflowering raspberry as a distinct deliverable; similarly, the Oregon Department of Corrections' S2910000016590 ITB for frozen fruit berries (posted April 9, 2026, due April 23, 2026) seeks mixed berry varieties at approximately $0.89 per pound on a 40,000-pound estimated volume without itemizing purpleflowering raspberry separately.

State and local procurement under this code appears to be subsumed within broader food service contracts managed by school nutrition programs, state-operated institutions, and county correction facilities across Texas, Georgia, Florida, Oregon, California, New Jersey, and Missouri. When frozen berries do surface in solicitations — as in the Hillsborough County Public Schools Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program RFP (posted April 13, 2026) or the Hancock County Board of Education produce bid (posted June 10, 2026) — they are listed alongside dozens of other produce items without commodity-level disaggregation. The code shows no identifiable repeat buyers or standout regional concentration; instead, buying appears episodic and embedded in larger nutrition service contracts. Unless your firm supplies purpleflowering raspberry as a standalone SKU to institutional food service distributors or can disaggregate it from mixed-berry lots, this code warrants a watch posture rather than active pursuit.
