UNSPSC 50376223: Canned or jarred organic sweet cultivated raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50376223 Canned or jarred organic sweet cultivated raspberry is a Commodity code that reflects state and local government procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service, including school nutrition programs, state facilities, county senior services, and correctional institutions. Recent solicitations show that despite the code's specific focus on organic raspberries, state and local buyers use this taxonomy to source a broader range of canned fruit products—applesauce, mixed preserved fruits, and commodity-grade canned produce—as part of consolidated food-supply contracts. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois), school districts (Austin ISD, Bridgeport Board of Education), and county social-services departments (Gwinnett County, Georgia). The work involves responding to IFBs, RFPs, and informal quote requests for multi-case orders of preserved fruit with firm, fixed pricing; compliance with USDA commodity specifications and FDA standards; F.O.B. destination delivery to centralized food-service distribution points; and proof of liability insurance and vendor references.

Recent activity spans multiple regions with notable concentration in the South and West. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for canned applesauce in May and July 2026, with historical awards around $21.83 per case and volumes of approximately 1,900–4,760 cases per procurement; Texas HHSC and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice jointly conducted a large supplemental food and consumable bid (IFB HHS0016792v2, closed March 19, 2026) with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years and 210 line items including canned fruit; Gwinnett County, Georgia requested quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned produce (quote due October 19, 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted multiple weekly food-order contracts for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with quarterly cycles (proposals due August 24 and June 17, 2026); Hancock County Schools in Georgia solicited fresh and preserved produce for the 2026-27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education sourced 115 commodity line items with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026. Most opportunities require domestic or local-preference certifications where applicable and payment within 30–45 days of invoiced delivery.
