UNSPSC 50376225 Canned or jarred organic west indian raspberry is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this designation. The recent opportunities block shows no procurement activity for organic West Indian raspberry in any form; instead, issuing bodies are soliciting canned and processed fruit products including applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and general food supplies for institutional food service. The code appears poorly matched to the activities the source material documents, and no relevant recent opportunities exist for the specific commodity named.

State and local procurement activity under related food-service codes—such as fresh produce, canned fruits, and general grocery supply—is brisk and geographically dispersed. Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts across Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, and cities including Bridgeport, Connecticut have all posted recent solicitations for food and consumable products. These issuing bodies span state agencies, independent school districts, and county education systems. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026; 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 to supply El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southeast, particularly Georgia and Texas, alongside West Coast (Oregon) and mid-Atlantic (Virginia, Connecticut) activity. The consistent pattern across these solicitations is firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, compliance with Buy American and USDA standards, and contract periods running July 1 through June 30 aligned with school-year budgets.
