UNSPSC 50566104: Non GMO dark raspberry purees

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO dark raspberries which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50566104 Non GMO dark raspberry purees is a Commodity code representing specialty fruit products that state and local governments procure for food service operations in correctional facilities, schools, social service programs, and residential care centers. The recent solicitations under this code show that purchasing bodies are acquiring a broader range of canned, frozen, and fresh fruit products—applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and general produce—rather than dark raspberry purees specifically. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), county school boards (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas), city education systems (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and county social services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia). Most opportunities originate from food service procurement offices supporting institutional meal programs, with occasional notices from state correctional and health agencies procuring for multiple facilities statewide.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, particularly Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Connecticut, and Oregon, reflecting ongoing institutional food service contracting cycles. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and produce (due October 19, 2026), the State of Illinois's two concurrent solicitations for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (due August 24, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections's ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), and Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026). The code shows active procurement but limited activity explicitly targeting non-GMO dark raspberry purees; most opportunities seek general commodity foods meeting USDA standards, Buy American provisions, and brand-or-equal specifications with firm fixed pricing delivered FOB destination to institutional locations. Award typically flows to lowest responsive and responsible bidders meeting specification and delivery requirements.
