UNSPSC 50376211 Canned or jarred organic gray New Mexico raspberry, a Commodity code, does not reflect the breadth of actual state and local procurement activity in shelf-stable and fresh food service products. The recent solicitations indexed under this code span packaged proteins, canned vegetables and fruits, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, dairy, and broader food-service consumables — far wider than the narrow commodity name suggests. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), counties (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport). School nutrition programs and state institutional food service (corrections, veterans homes, state hospitals, and supported living centers) are the dominant buyer categories. Contracts typically include Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic agricultural content (51 percent for processed goods where applicable), firm fixed pricing for the contract term, FOB Destination delivery with prepaid freight, mandatory insurance (commonly $1 million commercial general liability), and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best-value vendor.

Recent solicitations cluster in the Southeast and Southwest. Hancock County Schools and Gwinnett County (both Georgia) issued IFBs for fresh produce and shelf-stable food items in June 2026; Bridgeport, Connecticut released a commodities bid for the Board of Education Nutrition Center in June 2026; and the Texas HHSC issued two IFBs in May and June 2026 for food and consumables serving state-supported living centers and state hospitals statewide with estimated prior-period values of $1.5 million annually. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (May and July 2026) with historical awards to MJ Kellner and Robbins Sales at approximately $21.80 per case, and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on a quarterly basis throughout 2026. Austin Independent School District issued an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps with a July 2026 response date. The Texas Comptroller, acting for TDCJ, posted an IFB for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations with response due May 4, 2026 after a pre-bid conference on March 26, 2026 and an addendum-driven extension from April 21 to May 4.
