UNSPSC 50376205: Canned or jarred organic delicious raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50376205 Canned or jarred organic delicious raspberry (Commodity) describes shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The code sees steady activity across county school districts, state agencies, and municipal food-service operations that bid competitively on standardized, branded shelf-stable fruit inventory. Recent solicitations show that governments source both named-brand and approved-equivalent canned fruit items as part of broader food-supply contracts, typically combining them with proteins, vegetables, grains, and other staples in multi-line-item IFB and RFP vehicles. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education, county social services, and municipal nutrition departments; repeat activity appears under state-level food service procurements, particularly in Texas (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice) and Georgia, and recurring school-district nutrition buys in counties across the Southeast.

Recent opportunities show the code is active in mid-Atlantic and Southeastern states, with standout volume in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026, and prior ITB S-29100-00016975 due June 2, 2026), each covering approximately 1,900–4,760 cases at firm unit pricing with FOB destination delivery to central distribution centers; Oregon applies a combined 10% preference for goods fabricated and bidders headquartered in Oregon. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned products (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) for delivery to senior services. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables statewide including canned fruits (due March 19, 2026, with an estimated three-year value of $4.5 million), and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has issued quarterly food-order RFPs for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases (multiple solicitations with August–June due dates in 2026). School districts including Austin Independent School District and Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) source dried and fresh fruit alongside canned inventory under IFB and RFP vehicles with Buy American requirements (51% domestic content for processed items) and delivery to central warehouses or multiple school sites.
