UNSPSC 50363201: Canned or jarred early sulphur gooseberries

The variety of gooseberries known as early sulphur gooseberries that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50363201 Canned or jarred early sulphur gooseberries is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable preserved gooseberry products used in institutional food service. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct demand for gooseberries themselves; instead, the code appears to be applied to broader food commodity procurements where preserved fruits are bundled with other shelf-stable items. State and local governments use this code when acquiring preserved fruit products for corrections facilities, veterans homes, school nutrition programs, and county social services departments. The issuing bodies soliciting under related fruit preservation codes span state departments (corrections, health and human services, veterans affairs), county boards of education, independent school districts, and municipal agencies. Most activity appears concentrated in established institutional food-service supply chains rather than in standalone gooseberry specifications.

Recent opportunities show that state and local procurement under this code family occurs primarily in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026) with historical pricing near $21.83 per case and standing preferences for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited food items including canned vegetables and shelf-stable products (PE77023NONST2027000000782, IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple RFPs for weekly food orders serving the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, with brand-specific and brand-or-equal options (27497DVAQUINCB53752, 27497DVAQUINCB53751, due August 24, 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured supplemental and cafeteria food products statewide (HHS0017449, HHS0016792V2, 304T26300CF) with responses due between May and July 2026. Austin Independent School District sought dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut solicited fresh produce and commodities for school nutrition centers (PE67080NONST2027000000013, BNB053266, due June 26, 2026). No opportunities in the source material specify gooseberries as a distinct line item; the code appears misaligned with actual procurement activity in the recent opportunities block.
