UNSPSC 50333200: Dried organic gooseberries

The type of organic fruit known as organic gooseberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50333200 Dried organic gooseberries, a Class code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity in recent state and local solicitations. The opportunities posted under this code overwhelmingly cover fresh produce, frozen food products, and broad grocery commodities for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities—not dried gooseberries or dried fruit specifically. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with eight of the twelve recent opportunities originating from school nutrition programs (Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System). State agencies and county facilities round out the buyer base: the State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice across multiple facilities, and Santa Clara County's correctional food services. The scope of work under this code taxonomy does not match the code name; buyers are actively soliciting fresh apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, potatoes, citrus, leafy greens, eggs, frozen entrees, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods on firm-fixed-price annual or multi-year contracts running July through June aligned with school-year calendars.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and Texas. Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County via cooperative) posted five opportunities between February and June 2026, while Texas agencies (TDCJ central procurement and Statewide Procurement Division) posted two. Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, and Santa Clara County in California round out the recent activity. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce with a response deadline of June 26, 2026; Bridgeport Board of Education's commodities procurement (IFB, due June 26, 2026); Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts with an estimated annual value of $4.4 million for Area One (response due March 4, 2026); and Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts at a correctional facility (due February 5, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity suggests a classification error in the source data rather than meaningful procurement opportunity under this specific commodity heading.
