UNSPSC 50303207: American worcesterberry gooseberries

The variety of gooseberries known as american worcesterberry gooseberries

UNSPSC 50303207 American worcesterberry gooseberries is a Commodity code that represents a specific produce item, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities record no solicitations for this species. Instead, the code shows persistent mismatch between its nominal scope and what jurisdictions are actually buying: all tracked opportunities target broader fresh produce procurement—comprehensive fruit and vegetable supply contracts for school nutrition programs, child care centers, and county food services—rather than worcesterberries specifically. The recent opportunities span school districts, early childhood programs, and county agencies across Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California, soliciting frozen and fresh fruit mixes, apple varieties, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and stone fruits as components of large institutional meal programs. No vendor is being asked to supply worcesterberries as a line item or standalone category.

School districts dominate the buyer base—including Madison Metropolitan (Wisconsin), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County (Georgia), Muscogee County (Georgia), Glynn County (Georgia), and Austin Independent School District (Texas)—along with county school nutrition programs in Mississippi, Georgia, and multiple other states, plus child care and senior services in Texas. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, $78,000 annual value), Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce covering 200+ line items across apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty items (due June 26, 2026), and the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across two Georgia regions ($5.5 million combined estimated annual spend, due March 4, 2026). The geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, Wisconsin, Mississippi, and California. The code shows little relevant current activity for worcesterberries themselves and does not support a focused pursuit strategy for this specific commodity.
