UNSPSC 50386703: Black raspberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50386703 Black raspberry purees is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable fruit products for institutional food service—primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services centers, and state-operated health and human services facilities. The recent opportunities show that agencies buy canned and processed fruit items under this code as components of larger food-supply tenders, alongside applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, proteins, and dairy products. The code reflects institutional-scale purchasing for meal preparation and food-service operations across multiple jurisdictions. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county senior services divisions, and city school district nutrition programs. State-level agencies and school districts are the most active buyers, with repeat solicitation activity from Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Texas.

Recent activity spans multiple states. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (related commodity) with responses due June 2 and July 31, 2026, applying 5 percent Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables covering 210 line items with a response deadline of March 19, 2026, and maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with proposals due August 24, 2026, under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with delivery by December 7, 2026, due October 19, 2026; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education Nutrition Center sought bids on 115 line-item commodities including fruit and vegetable products with a June 26, 2026 deadline and Buy American compliance required; and Austin Independent School District posted an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service with a July 16, 2026 response date. Most solicitations require firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, compliance with USDA commodity or grade specifications, commercial general liability insurance of $1 million or greater, and compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable.
