The variety of raspberries known as american red raspberry that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50366201 Canned or jarred American red raspberry, a Commodity code, captures only a narrow slice of state and local food procurement activity; recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect actual solicitation for canned fruit products far more broadly, including applesauce, with issuing bodies spanning state departments, school districts, and health and human services agencies across multiple states. State and local governments buy canned and jarred fruits under this code to support institutional food service—cafeterias, nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and supported living centers—with product specifications emphasizing USDA commodity compliance, shelf life, packaging standards, and delivery logistics. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple school districts (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Fairfax County in Virginia, Liberty County in Georgia, and others) have recently solicited canned fruit products through ITBs and RFPs, signaling steady demand driven by meal-service volume and regulatory nutrition requirements. Issuing bodies lean heavily toward K-12 school nutrition programs and state-operated institutional food service, with repeat activity from state corrections and health agencies.

Geographic spread centers on the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions, with active procurement in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, Connecticut, Oregon, Illinois, and Colorado over the past six months. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with delivery to Salem (response due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case historical pricing); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including canned fruits to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, with a $1.5 million prior-period baseline); and multiple school district procurements under IFBs and RFPs for fresh and canned fruits as components of broader K-12 food service contracts. Most opportunities carry Buy American provisions, require firm fixed pricing delivered FOB destination prepaid, specify minimum shelf life and USDA grade compliance, and award to lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value. Pricing pressure is evident: the ODOC historical price of $21.84 per case anchors recent bids, and school districts evaluate on total cost across large line-item rosters, making volume, reliability, and compliance differentiators in a commoditized market.
