UNSPSC 50376220: Canned or jarred organic snow raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50376220 Canned or jarred organic snow raspberry is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to purchase preserved fruit products for food service operations—though recent solicitations under this code show substantial activity across canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and broader food and consumable procurement rather than organic snow raspberry specifically. State departments, county school districts, independent school districts, and municipal boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with school nutrition programs and state-operated facilities (correctional institutions, state hospitals, state supported living centers) driving the bulk of volume. Oregon Department of Corrections and multiple Texas agencies (HHSC, TDCJ, school districts) appear repeatedly in recent postings, signaling sustained demand from institutional food service operations. The work ranges from highly standardized purchases—canned fruit products meeting USDA commodity specifications in bulk truck-load quantities—to broader grocery sourcing across hundreds of line items for school cafeteria and institutional operations. All products are sourced on firm-fixed FOB destination pricing including transportation, with delivery frequencies ranging from one-time shipments to weekly standing orders and quarterly replenishment cycles.

Geographic spread centers on the South (Georgia school districts, Texas agencies) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections), with secondary activity in Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 requesting 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. PST under a historical price of $21.84 per case awarded to Robbins Sales; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026, based on a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. School districts frequently apply Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products, and many solicitations include state-specific preferences (Oregon's combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders) or set-asides such as MBE/CBE certifications under municipal ordinances. Institutional buyers typically require general commercial liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence, USDA and FDA compliance certifications, and established vendor performance tracking through state procurement systems.
