UNSPSC 50363202: Canned or jarred goldendrop gooseberries

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

UNSPSC 50363202 Canned or jarred goldendrop gooseberries, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. The opportunities recorded show solicitations for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, weekly food orders, fresh produce, and broad food-service commodities spanning fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable items—none of which reference goldendrop gooseberries or match the narrow product scope of the code's name. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all for canned or jarred fruit products within institutional food service rather than for the specific fruit commodity the code nominally describes.

Issuing bodies pursuing these categorized opportunities span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System, Dallas Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), and local authorities (City of Bridgeport Connecticut Department of Public Purchases). Activity is concentrated in the South and West, with recent solicitations from Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (canned applesauce, 4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026, with 10% combined state and Oregon-headquartered preferences), Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 (fresh produce spanning 200+ line items with Buy American content requirements, response due June 26, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (fresh produce and eggs, 72 line items, estimated annual spend $4.4 to $1.1 million across two geographic areas, response due March 4, 2026). The code shows minimal decision-relevance for vendors targeting goldendrop gooseberries specifically; the mismatch between the code name and actual procurement activity suggests either miscategorization by issuing bodies or the code's disuse for its intended narrow commodity scope.
