UNSPSC 50376218: Canned or jarred organic roadside raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50376218 Canned or jarred organic roadside raspberry is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product specification — organic canned or jarred raspberry — yet state and local governments procuring under it are buying much broader food service baskets in which this item appears as one line among dozens or hundreds. Recent solicitations show this code applied to institutional food procurement for state agencies, county human services departments, school districts, and correctional facilities purchasing shelf-stable fruits and vegetables as components of larger meal-service contracts rather than as standalone specialty items. The work being solicited is food supply for cafeterias, senior centers, state institutions, and detention facilities, where canned and jarred produce — including raspberry products — function as commodity-level inputs to institutional meal preparation rather than specialty or premium offerings.

State and local issuing bodies span correctional departments, state human services commissions, county boards of education and county commissioners' offices, independent school districts, and municipal departments of public purchases, with no single repeat buyer dominating recent activity. Geographic spread includes Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), Illinois (state-level procurements), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD), and Connecticut (Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (due October 19, 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem (due July 31, 2026); Texas HHSC's IFB for supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and canned products for state hospitals and supported living centers (due March 19, 2026); and Bridgeport Board of Education's bid for 115 line items of commodities including fruit and vegetable products (due June 26, 2026). Most solicitations emphasize firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, compliance with USDA commodity specifications or Buy American provisions where applicable, and payment within 30 to 45 days.
