UNSPSC 50313202 Organic goldendrop gooseberries is a Commodity code. State and local school nutrition programs procure fresh produce—including conventional and organic fruits, vegetables, and specialty items—to supply breakfast and lunch programs, fresh fruit and vegetable snack initiatives, and farm-to-school efforts across elementary through high school campuses. Recent solicitations show school districts buying fresh apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, prepared produce items, and eggs in bulk case quantities on annual fixed-price contracts with prospective price redetermination. Issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts and county school boards, often procuring through cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative. A small number of state-level procurement activities also appear—the State of Georgia posted a broad food and kitchen products bid in May 2026—but school nutrition programs dominate the market. Across all recent opportunities, evaluation emphasizes cost (typically 30–50 points), product quality and availability, on-time delivery performance, vendor experience, Buy American compliance, and HACCP food safety documentation.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. The Georgia school districts—Douglas County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, and Early County—have posted overlapping produce procurements, many due in March through June 2026 with contract terms beginning July 1, 2026. Texas school districts, including McAllen Independent School District (RFP 20261029, due March 6, 2026) and Austin Independent School District (RFP 26RFP034, due March 11, 2026), are also active. Florida—Hillsborough County Public Schools—posted a fresh fruit and vegetable program RFP (26039RFPDST, due March 11, 2026) for $600,000 in estimated annual spending. Wisconsin's Madison Metropolitan School District issued two produce RFBs (4162 and 4163, both due July 29, 2026), the first for petite bananas with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 and the second for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with a $0.20 per pound organic preference. Most school nutrition contracts span July through June fiscal years, require weekly or multiple-weekly delivery, mandate minimum 98 percent fill rates, and restrict vendors to domestic sourcing under the Buy American Act with phased non-domestic purchase caps.
