UNSPSC 50366229: Canned or jarred yu-shan raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50366229 Canned or jarred yu-shan raspberry (Commodity) shows limited direct relevance to recent state and local procurement activity, as the majority of opportunities tagged under this code involve broader food service categories rather than the specific commodity named. The recent solicitations reveal that state and local governments procure canned and jarred fruit products — including applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and eggs — primarily through school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies to support institutional food service operations. School nutrition programs represent the dominant buyer category, with additional procurement by state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and county board of education systems. Work solicited under this code encompasses institutional food supply contracts ranging from single-commodity procurements (such as canned applesauce for a corrections facility) to comprehensive multi-category food service agreements supporting dozens of schools or facilities, with contracts typically structured as firm fixed-price arrangements, often with volume estimated from prior usage rather than guaranteed.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 in July 2026 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a response deadline of July 31, 2026, applying Oregon goods and resident vendor preferences for a combined 10 percent advantage and requiring FOB destination delivery to Salem at historical pricing near $21.84 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables (IFB HHS0016792V2) in May 2026 with a response deadline of June 2, 2026 (later extended to March 19, 2026 in an earlier version), covering 210 line items across fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated categories with a maximum three-year contract value of $4.5 million. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requested fresh produce bids under IFB SN002-2027 in June 2026 with over 200 line items and a June 26, 2026 due date, including specific apple varieties, berries, and vegetables for delivery to three school sites. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut issued RFB BNB053266 in June 2026 for 115 commodity line items to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center with eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products, due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable and Buy American compliance required. School district procurements dominate the activity block, with Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Dallas Independent School District (Texas), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) all conducting annual or multi-year food service solicitations in spring 2026, each specifying firm fixed pricing, broad product portfolios, and weekly or as-needed delivery to multiple school sites.
