UNSPSC 50386725: West indian raspberry purees

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

UNSPSC 50386725 West Indian raspberry purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy as part of broader food-service procurement for institutional feeding programs — schools, corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, and senior services operations. The recent solicitations tagged under this code do not isolate West Indian raspberry purees as a line item; instead, they reflect school districts, state departments, county governments, and specialized institutional buyers issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for multi-line-item food and consumable packages where raspberry products (fresh, frozen, dried, or processed) may appear as one commodity among dozens. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health and human services, county boards of education, county commissioners, independent school districts, city boards of education, and state supported-living-center operators. The mix reflects the decentralized, locally driven nature of institutional food procurement — no single repeat buyer dominates, though state systems (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia) appear multiple times with recurring quarterly or annual food contracts.

Geographic activity spans Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Connecticut, and scattered county operations. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792v2 for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported-living centers statewide (response deadline March 19, 2026, contract value up to $4.5 million over three years); Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce delivery to Salem with 5 percent Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences (bid due July 31, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including fruits, vegetables, and proteins to the Senior Services Center, Lawrenceville, Georgia (informal written quote due October 19, 2026); and Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service, delivery to central warehouse (proposals due July 16, 2026). Most contracts are awarded on lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best-value criteria, with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and compliance requirements including liability insurance, prevailing wage where applicable, and Buy American provisions under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act. Contract terms typically span one to three years with optional renewals. This code shows steady but not concentrated activity — individual opportunities are modest in scale (under $2 million per order) and episodic rather than standing-order driven.
