UNSPSC 50363205: Canned or jarred london gooseberries

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

UNSPSC 50363205 Canned or jarred london gooseberries, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct procurement activity among state and local governments; the recent opportunities in the dataset show no solicitations specifically naming london gooseberries or close equivalents. The code's nominal scope—preserved gooseberries in sealed containers—aligns with shelf-stable fruit products that state and local food-service operations purchase, but the ten recent state-local opportunities posted between May and October 2026 reflect procurement of broader canned-fruit categories, fresh produce, and general food commodities rather than specialty preserved items. When london gooseberries do appear in state and local supply chains, they are typically bundled into larger food-service contracts rather than solicited as standalone line items. School districts, correctional facilities, state hospitals, county nutrition programs, and senior-services departments are the principal buyers, and they contract through a mix of ITB, IFB, and RFP notice types, often with annual or multi-year terms and firm fixed pricing that includes delivery to central distribution or warehouse sites.

Geographic activity centers in the Southeast (Georgia, including Gwinnett County and Hancock County school systems), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections), the Midwest (Illinois state facilities), Texas (school districts, correctional and health agencies), and Connecticut municipalities. Representative canned-fruit opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 ITB for 1,904 cases of canned applesauce (due June 2, 2026) at an estimated $21.83 per case, and a July 2026 recompete for the same item (due July 31, 2026), both offering 5 percent Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products in May 2026 (IFB 304T26300CF, due May 4 as extended via addendum) covering 382 line items including canned vegetables and fruits; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a March 2026 statewide IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers with 210 line items and a potential three-year value to $4.5 million. The code shows limited standalone solicitation velocity; london gooseberries, if procured, typically appear as minor components within large multi-commodity tenders rather than as focused procurement targets.
