UNSPSC 50303202: Goldendrop gooseberries

The variety of gooseberries known as goldendrop gooseberries

UNSPSC 50303202 Goldendrop gooseberries, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity in state and local government under this category. The source contains no recent solicitations for goldendrop gooseberries or any other specialized berry varieties by that name. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged with or adjacent to this code show state and local buyers procuring fresh produce in broad categories—apples, bananas, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, and berries—as components of larger food-service supply contracts for schools, correctional facilities, mental health centers, and senior services. The issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Bryan County, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Early County boards of education), state departments of corrections and mental health (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county and municipal procurement offices (Collier County, City of San Antonio, City of Bridgeport), and non-profit agencies operating federal food programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears as a repeat buyer, with three separate fresh-produce solicitations posted in late September and October 2026.

The geographic spread is concentrated in the South and Midwest—Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Florida, Wisconsin, Mississippi, and Connecticut account for the bulk of recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Request for Proposals for fresh fruit and vegetables to Palestine, Texas (IFB 267376, due October 19, 2026) and Snyder Food Warehouse (IFB 267420, due October 14, 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections' Request for Quotes for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (IFB 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026) with a small-business set-aside; Madison Metropolitan School District's Request for Bids for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026); and DeSoto County School District's sealed-bid procurement for fresh produce distribution across 41 school sites (due June 22, 2026) on a cost-plus-fee basis with 97 percent service level requirements. None of these solicitations name goldendrop gooseberries specifically; they treat fresh produce as commodity inputs to institutional food service and nutritional programming, with quality and delivery standards embedded in broader procurement scopes.
