UNSPSC 50323203: Dried langley gage gooseberries

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

UNSPSC 50323203 Dried langley gage gooseberries, a Commodity code, nominally addresses a single dried-fruit product but does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities posted against it procure broad fresh-produce and food-service commodities for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, not the specialized dried-gooseberry item the code names. State and local buyers under this and related produce codes source fresh fruits and vegetables (apples, berries, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty items), dried fruits (prunes), and comprehensive food-service commodities (proteins, dairy, grains, condiments) for institutional meal programs. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (State of Georgia), and correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division). Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products appear consistently across school nutrition solicitations.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce for school year 2026–27, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items and delivery to three school sites. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted Solicitation BNB053266 on June 2, 2026, requesting bids for 115 line items of food commodities (eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, fruit and vegetables) to supply the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026, and MBE/CBE certifications applicable under city ordinance. The State of Georgia issued PE55645NONST2026000000009 on May 15, 2026, for food, supplies, and kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 due date. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products (proteins, specialty entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, canned and fresh vegetables and fruits) via IFB 304T-26-300CF, with the original April 21, 2026 response date extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026.
