UNSPSC 50323207: Dried american worcesterberry gooseberries

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

UNSPSC 50323207 Dried American Worcesterberry Gooseberries is a Commodity code that describes specialty dried berry products. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show minimal direct procurement of dried worcesterberries; instead, they reflect school districts, counties, and states purchasing broad fresh and processed produce categories for nutrition programs, food service operations, and institutional feeding. The actual buying pattern under this code emphasizes general grocery and produce supply contracts that span hundreds of line items across multiple fruit and vegetable categories, with dried fruits appearing as minor components within larger commodity bundles rather than as standalone specialty items. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix—Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all appear as repeat buyers. State procurement offices (Georgia, Texas), county nutrition programs (Santa Clara County, California), and city agencies (Bridgeport, Connecticut) round out the buyer base. Texas Department of Criminal Justice has also solicited for food service supply, including a dried-fruit category (prunes). None of these recent opportunities specifically name worcesterberries or dried american worcesterberries as line items.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions, with Georgia seeing the heaviest recent volume—Liberty County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Hancock County all issued nutrition-service IFBs or RFPs in the first half of 2026. Virginia (Fairfax County), Missouri (Rockwood), Texas (TDCJ), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and California (Santa Clara County) add geographic spread. Hancock County Schools issued IFB #SN002-2027 for Fresh Produce (72 line items across apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits) due June 26, 2026; Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 for Fresh Produce and Eggs covering 72 items with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million across two geographic areas, sealed proposals due March 4, 2026; and Santa Clara County issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for Dried Fruits and Nuts (including raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans) due February 5, 2026. These solicitations emphasize firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items), HACCP food-safety plans, and weekly or scheduled deliveries to multiple school sites or detention facilities. The dried worcesterberry category itself shows no active solicitation in the recent opportunities block; buyers pursuing this code should monitor for specialty produce RFPs or commodity-bundle contracts that explicitly list worcesterberries or dried berry products as billable line items.
