UNSPSC 50366210: Canned or jarred gold raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50366210 Canned or jarred gold raspberry is a Commodity code used by state and local governments primarily to procure canned fruit products for institutional food service — including custodial facilities, correctional institutions, school nutrition programs, and state supported living centers. The code's nominal scope (gold raspberry) does not reflect actual recent buying; state and local bodies are tagging applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, and broad food-supply contracts under this code, indicating either systematic miscoding or use of the code as a catch-all for canned and preserved fruit procurement. Of the recent opportunities bearing this code, only the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026) and a prior ODOC applesauce bid (S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026) align meaningfully with preserved fruit. The remaining solicitations — including those from Austin Independent School District (dried fruit bars and crisps RFP, due July 16, 2026), Texas HHSC (quarterly food orders and supplemental foods), Hancock County Schools (fresh produce), Bridgeport Board of Education (broad commodities), Douglas County Schools (fresh produce and eggs), and Dallas ISD (food products for nutrition services) — represent food-service procurement spanning fresh, frozen, and specialty items well beyond the code's nominal category. Issuing bodies include correctional departments, state health and human services agencies, school districts, and municipal education boards; school districts appear most frequently and represent the largest procurement volumes.

Opportunities cluster in the South and Pacific Northwest, with concentrated recent activity in Texas (HHSC, Dallas ISD, TDCJ), Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), and Oregon (ODOC), plus secondary activity in Connecticut, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two applesauce bids within a four-month window (June 2026 and July 2026), suggesting repeat demand under this commodity code. Representative opportunities include the ODOC ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, ITB notice type, bids due July 31, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST with 5% Oregon-goods preference and 5% Oregon-headquarters preference for a combined 10% preference); the Texas HHSC IFB for supplemental food and consumable products across state facilities statewide (HHS0017449, IFB notice type, responses due July 13, 2026, prior-period value $1.5 million with two renewal options); and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 Georgia school districts (SN 26-004, RFP notice type, proposals due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spending $4.4 million Area One and $1.1 million Area Two). The code shows substantial recent activity driven by institutional bulk purchasing and standing contracts, but the mismatch between nominal scope and actual procurement — combined with frequent miscoding — suggests low confidence in targeting this code for business development unless pursuing a narrowly defined canned-fruit or preserved-raspberry specialty.
