UNSPSC 50386723: Sweet cultivated raspberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50386723 Sweet cultivated raspberry purees is a Commodity code that names a narrow product class, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it reveal little procurement activity for the specific product. The recent solicitations tagged to this code span a much broader scope of food procurement — fresh produce, canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, general cafeteria commodities, and shelf-stable food items for nutrition programs — with raspberry purees appearing in none of the posted opportunities. The issuing bodies soliciting food products include county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health services, county departments of community services, city boards of education, and state offices of procurement. The work being solicited is primarily food service supply for institutional settings: school nutrition programs, state correctional facilities, state-supported living centers for individuals with intellectual disabilities, senior services centers, and veterans' homes. Vendors respond to detailed line-item food specifications, deliver to designated institutional warehouses or distribution centers, and quote firm fixed pricing on a per-unit basis with freight prepaid on FOB destination terms. Solicitations typically require compliance with USDA commodity grades, FDA standards, Buy American provisions where applicable, and maintain 24-hour emergency stock for backup delivery.

Recent activity spans multiple states with significant concentration in the Southeast and Texas. Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (May 18, 2026, due June 2; July 10, 2026, due July 31) with Oregon goods and resident-bidder preferences applied; Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (HHS0016792V2, May 19, 2026, due March 19, 2026—note: this posting appears to reflect a prior year's cycle); Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued an IFB for cafeteria food products to TDCJ (304T26300CF, May 4, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (June 10, 2026, due June 26); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal quotes for shelf-stable food items (October 13, 2026, due October 19); State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (multiple quarters in June and August 2026); City of Bridgeport, Connecticut sought commodities for school nutrition (June 2, 2026, due June 26); Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps (June 26, 2026, due July 16); and Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited food and consumables for El Paso State Supported Living Center (June 11, 2026, due July 13). The code shows limited procurement traffic directly tied to raspberry purees; vendors monitoring this Commodity code should expect broader food-service opportunities rather than targeting this specific product line.
