UNSPSC 50313200: Organic gooseberries

The type of organic fruit known as organic gooseberries

UNSPSC 50313200 Organic gooseberries, a Class code, does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the source material. The recent opportunities posted under this code solicit fresh produce broadly — bananas, apples, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, and mixed fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs, county parks, and health-care facilities — but none specifically name gooseberries or organic variants. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or that organic gooseberries represent a negligible line item within broader fresh-produce buys that state and local procurement offices tag with this code for administrative or systems reasons.

School districts dominate the recent activity, with Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, and Early County Board of Education each posting multiple RFBs and RFPs for fresh produce during the 2026–2027 school year. Collier County (Florida) Parks and Recreation and Marion Health Care Coalition (location not specified in the source) also posted produce-related solicitations. Geographic concentration appears strongest in Georgia, where Hancock County, Bartow County, and Early County schools posted bids between May and June 2026, with response dates spanning May 22 through June 29, 2026. Recent representative solicitations include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items including fresh fruits and vegetables for the National School Lunch Program, Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items (due June 26, 2026, with delivery to three school sites July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027), and Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas at 70–90 cases weekly (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual contract value $78,000). Most school-district solicitations emphasize HACCP compliance, E-Verify verification, Buy American provisions for processed items, and competitive firm pricing over contract periods ranging from three months to one year, with several school systems accepting multi-vendor awards.
