UNSPSC 50396326: Organic whitebark raspberry purees

The variety of organic raspberry known as organic whitebark raspberry which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50396326 Organic whitebark raspberry purees is a Commodity code that classifies specialized fruit purees, but state and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying a much broader range of shelf-stable food products for institutional food service. Recent opportunities show county school nutrition programs, state departments, and specialty institutional food service entities (corrections, veterans' facilities, state supported living centers) procuring canned fruits, applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and general food commodities — not specifically organic whitebark raspberry purees. The code appears to have been assigned to solicitations that fall within general institutional food procurement rather than reflecting the narrow commodity the code name suggests. State and local issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health and human services, state veterans' homes, city boards of education, and state-supported living centers. The mix reflects typical high-volume, recurring institutional food service demand across education, corrections, and social services.

Recent activity spans Georgia (Gwinnett County Schools, Hancock County Schools, Georgia State Department), Illinois (State of Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, recurring quarterly procurements), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections, multiple applesauce bids), Texas (Texas HHSC, TDCJ, Austin Independent School District), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issuing an IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items with delivery by December 7, 2026 (response due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with delivery to Salem (response due July 31, 2026, with Oregon goods and resident preferences of 5 percent each); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office soliciting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal RFPs (response due August 24, 2026); and Austin Independent School District requesting proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (response due July 16, 2026). Contracts typically specify FOB Destination delivery, firm fixed pricing for the contract period, compliance with USDA standards and Buy American provisions where applicable, and insurance requirements; awards are made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or on best-value basis.
