UNSPSC 50323202: Dried goldendrop gooseberries

The variety of gooseberries known as goldendrop gooseberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50323202 Dried goldendrop gooseberries (Commodity) does not reflect the actual scope of state and local food procurement activity in the recent opportunity sample. The code's nominal product — dried goldendrop gooseberries as a discrete line item — does not appear in any of the twelve most recent solicitations. Instead, state and local buyers are procuring fresh produce, grocery staples, and prepared foods for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and central food service distribution in broad, multi-category RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs that enumerate hundreds of line items spanning apples, berries, leafy greens, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and miscellaneous prepared entrees. The issuing bodies are school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), state departments and procurement divisions (State of Georgia, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and county sheriff departments (Santa Clara County Office of the Sheriff in California). Dried fruits and nuts appear as a minor subset within these broader solicitations—Santa Clara County explicitly solicited dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit blend for a correctional facility, and Douglas County's food supply RFP encompasses dried goods alongside fresh items—but no recent opportunity targets dried goldendrop gooseberries as a named commodity.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County school districts), with secondary activity in Virginia (Fairfax County), Missouri (Rockwood), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Texas (TDCJ statewide), and California (Santa Clara County). Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026, 200+ line items of fresh produce for three school locations), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases Commodities bid (electronic RFQ, due June 26, 2026, 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, and produce for the Board of Education Nutrition Center), Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, multi-section contract spanning 45 schools and distribution kitchens), and Santa Clara County's Dried Fruits and Nuts ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (ITB, due February 5, 2026, dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans for Elmwood Correctional Facility on a five-year term). The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears misapplied to these broad grocery and produce solicitations.
