UNSPSC 50323205: Dried london gooseberries

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

UNSPSC 50323205 Dried london gooseberries is a Commodity code that nominally names a single dried fruit product, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show little activity specifically seeking dried london gooseberries. The most concrete opportunity on record—Santa Clara County's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts to supply a correctional facility—covers dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans delivered on a five-year contract, but does not name gooseberries. School districts and state procurement offices across the source material are actively buying fresh produce, grocery items, and occasional dried-fruit products (such as whole pitted dried prunes through the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in February 2026), yet solicitations do not isolate dried london gooseberries as a distinct line item. The code's nominal scope appears misaligned with the broader dried-fruit and grocery procurements that dominate recent activity in this commodity family.

State and local buying under related dried-fruit and specialty-produce categories spans school nutrition programs in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, and California, along with state departments and county detention facilities. Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Rockwood School District in Missouri, and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia are among the repeat institutional buyers executing RFPs and IFBs for annual food-service contracts. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with secondary activity in California and Texas. The Santa Clara County dried-fruits ITB (due February 5, 2026) and the Douglas County School System RFP for food supply and distribution (due February 18, 2026) represent the closest matches to dried-commodity procurement, but neither specifically names london gooseberries as a required item. Vendors pursuing this code should expect that actual opportunities will likely be embedded in broader fresh-produce or grocery buys rather than standalone dried-gooseberry solicitations, and may need to qualify under more general dried-fruit or specialty-produce categories.
