UNSPSC 50386701: American red raspberry purees

The variety of raspberries known as american red raspberry which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386701 American red raspberry purees is a Commodity code that encompasses fruit purees and related processed fruit products purchased by state and local food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under or adjacent to this code reflect broader procurement of shelf-stable and fresh fruit products, canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce for institutional food service — driven by school nutrition programs, state corrections facilities, state hospitals and supported living centers, county senior services, and municipal school boards. The mix of issuing bodies spans state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), city school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), and state supported facilities. State corrections and state-operated residential facilities dominate the recent activity, with multiple procurement cycles from the Texas HHSC and Oregon DOC appearing across the past five months.

Recent opportunities cluster in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (May 18 and July 10, 2026 due dates), with historical pricing at approximately $21.83 per case and a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-resident preference. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026, with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million). Gwinnett County, Georgia requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned goods (IFB PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (due August 24 and June 17, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education solicited over 200 line items of fresh produce including berries and specialty fruits (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), with the Buy American provision requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed items. Austin Independent School District procured dried fruit bars and apple crisps (RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut sought commodities including fruit and vegetable products for school nutrition (IFB BNB053266, due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE certification eligibility). Recent activity shows no explicit solicitation narrowly targeted at american red raspberry purees; the code appears underutilized relative to adjacent commodity procurements for applesauce, dried fruits, and fresh produce.
