UNSPSC 50386729: Yu-shan raspberry purees

The variety of raspberries known as yu-shan raspberry which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386729 Yu-shan raspberry purees (Commodity) does not reflect the actual scope of state and local food procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span shelf-stable and frozen food products for institutional food service—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, poultry, cheese, proteins, and a broad range of commodity staples—but do not include yu-shan raspberry purees specifically or specialized fruit puree products. State and local issuing bodies procuring under this code include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, city boards of education, and county nutrition departments. The work involves sealed or informal competitive bidding (IFB, ITB, RFQ formats) for multi-case or multi-line-item food supply contracts to institutional canteens, dining facilities, and warehouses, typically with firm fixed pricing quoted per unit and delivery on FOB destination terms.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative procurements include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026, under IWQ 140229; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office soliciting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for September through December under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications, proposals due August 24, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (historical price $21.84 per case, awarded to Robbins Sales in June 2026) due July 31, 2026; Austin Independent School District requesting proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting bids for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical annual value of $1.5 million, proposals due July 13, 2026. Buy American provisions and domestic-content requirements appear frequently. The code shows active recent procurement but the mismatch between the nominal commodity (yu-shan raspberry purees) and actual buying patterns warrants clarification before pursuit.
