UNSPSC 50386705 Delicious raspberry purees is a Commodity code covering processed fruit products purchased by state and local governments for food service and nutrition programs. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local bodies buying shelf-stable and fresh fruit products—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce (berries, melons, citrus), and supplemental food items—for school cafeterias, correctional facilities, veterans' homes, senior services centers, and state-supported living centers. The work is straightforward commodity procurement: vendors respond to detailed line-item specifications with firm pricing, manage F.O.B. destination delivery to named locations, and comply with USDA grades, FDA food standards, and Buy American provisions where applicable. Issuing bodies include state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state veterans' homes (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), municipal school districts (Austin Independent School District, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and county senior services departments (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services).

Recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut, with the most concentrated bidding in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ procurement across multiple state facilities) and Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County schools). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 (historical award to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026 with a prior-period value of $1.5 million, Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce (berries, citrus, root vegetables, specialty fruits) due June 26, 2026 for the 2026–27 school year, and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education BNB053266 bid for 115 commodity line items due June 26, 2026 with contract term through June 30, 2027.
