UNSPSC 50303205: London gooseberries

The variety of gooseberries known as london gooseberries

UNSPSC 50303205 London gooseberries is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments actually buy under recent activity. The source records show no solicitations specifically for London gooseberries or any species-specific berry commodity. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code request broad fresh produce supply — whole vegetables and fruits for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, child care facilities, correctional institutions, and senior services. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, county and municipal school districts, city senior services divisions, and regional health care coalitions, with no single buyer dominating activity. Solicitation types include RFP, RFB, IFB, and ITN formats, with response dates ranging from May through October 2026.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida, with Texas showing the heaviest recent volume — the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted three separate fresh-produce RFQs between late September and mid-October 2026 (IW267376, IW267420, IW267411), and the City of Edinburg and Head Start of Greater Dallas issued meal-program produce solicitations in August and June 2026 respectively. School districts dominate the Georgia procurement calendar, with Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Hancock County, DeSoto County, and Early County all issuing fresh-produce bids between May and June 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin issued two produce-focused bids in July 2026 for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks. Illinois Department of Corrections and Illinois Department of Mental Health posted fresh-produce small purchases in August and September 2026. The code's nominal scope (London gooseberries — a single cultivated berry variety) bears no relationship to what jurisdictions are actually procuring under the UNSPSC 50303205 tag; the code appears to be a classification error or data-quality issue rather than an active commodity category for state and local procurement.
