UNSPSC 50343202: Frozen goldendrop gooseberries

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

UNSPSC 50343202 Frozen goldendrop gooseberries, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. The solicitations tagged to this code span comprehensive grocery and food service procurement for schools, state hospitals, state supported living centers, Head Start programs, correctional facilities, and county nutrition services—spanning hundreds of line items across proteins, dairy, produce, frozen foods, condiments, beverages, and consumable supplies. The code's narrow scope (a single specialty frozen fruit item) does not match the broad, multi-category food and commodity buys that issuing bodies are actually executing under it.

State and local buyers posting under this code include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple facilities statewide), school districts in Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, Decatur, Fulton County), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Texas (Head Start of Greater Dallas), New Jersey Department of Human Services, Oregon Department of Corrections, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office, and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases. School food authorities represent the largest segment of recent issuers. Representative recent procurements include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 (due July 27, 2026) for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital under firm fixed unit pricing with 110 line items; Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB BNB052266 (due June 30, 2026) for 1,100+ grocery items compliant with Buy American and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act standards; Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP (due June 24, 2026) for 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat at an estimated $969,460.94; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution services across 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia (Hancock, Early, Bulloch, Savannah-Chatham, Henry, Decatur, Fulton counties) and Texas (state hospitals and supported living centers, Dallas), with additional activity in Connecticut, Missouri, New Jersey, Oregon, and California. The mismatch between code nomenclature and actual procurement scope signals that frozen specialty fruits—if procured at all—are subsumed within broader food service and grocery aggregations rather than sourced as standalone line items.
