UNSPSC 50376200: Canned or jarred organic raspberries

Any of various usually black or red edible berries that are aggregate fruits consisting of numerous small drupes on a fleshy receptacle and that are usually rounder and smaller than the closely related blackberries that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50376200 Canned or jarred organic raspberries (Class) encompasses shelf-stable berry products and preserved fruit sourced by state and local food service operations, though recent procurement activity shows limited direct demand specifically for organic raspberries—instead, jurisdictions are soliciting canned applesauce, dried fruit products, fresh produce (including berries), and broader commodity food bundles that may include preserved berries as line items within larger food service contracts. State and local buying under this code involves institutional food service for corrections departments, state-supported living centers, school districts, senior services, and veterans homes. Issuing bodies span state purchasing offices (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County, Gwinnett County), independent school districts (Austin ISD), municipalities (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and state-supported facilities. The mix is primarily institutional—prisons, nursing homes, schools, and public employee cafeterias—with no single repeat buyer dominating the recent solicitation pattern for this specific commodity code.

Recent activity spans the Pacific Northwest, South, and Midwest. Oregon Department of Corrections has issued back-to-back ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453 posted July 10, 2026, due July 31; S2910000016975 posted May 18, 2026, due June 2), requiring approximately 1,900–4,700 cases delivered to Salem. Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792V2, IFB scope including preserved fruits, closed March 19, 2026, with maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years) and separate cafeteria food products for state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0017449, posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, with prior-period spend of $1.5 million). Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy issued multiple quarterly food-order RFPs with brand-specific or brand-or-equal specifications (June and August 2026 posting dates, due dates ranging June 17 to August 24). Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas school districts and county education boards are concurrently soliciting fresh produce and general food commodities (Hancock County IFB for fresh produce, June 10, 2026 due June 26; Bridgeport commodities IFB, June 2, 2026 due June 26; Austin ISD dried fruit bars and apple crisps RFP, June 26, 2026 due July 16). Gwinnett County issued an informal written quote for shelf-stable food items (October 13, 2026, due October 19) including canned proteins and vegetables. The code shows active, distributed institutional demand across the South and West, with corrections and state healthcare facilities driving regular recurring procurement on quarterly or annual cycles, though specific pursuit of organic raspberries as a standalone commodity remains sparse in recent notices.
