UNSPSC 50313203: Organic langley gage gooseberries

The variety of organic gooseberries known as organic langley gage gooseberries

UNSPSC 50313203 Organic langley gage gooseberries (Commodity) does not reflect the actual purchasing activity under this code. State and local school nutrition programs are soliciting heavily under this taxonomy for fresh produce and eggs to support child nutrition and school breakfast and lunch programs, but the recent opportunities in the source document focus on bananas, apples, berries, vegetables, eggs, and other mainstream fresh produce rather than the specialized gooseberry variety named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a miscategorization in the source data or that the code has drifted from its nominal scope.

Recent activity centers on school district nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, and Florida—including Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Glynn County Schools, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System—along with the State of Georgia and Hillsborough County Public Schools. These jurisdictions are issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for annual or multi-year contracts to supply fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs in bulk to school cafeterias and child nutrition programs, often with Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, and weekly delivery requirements. Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia, with notable activity also in Texas and Florida. Representative recent procurements include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 estimated annual value, due July 29, 2026), Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts ($4.4 million Area One, $1.1 million Area Two, sealed bids due March 4, 2026), and Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 for fresh produce to 16 school sites (sealed bids due April 14, 2026). Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, firm pricing for 12 months, and emphasis on domestic sourcing and product quality standards aligned with federal school nutrition regulations.
