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

UNSPSC 50363207 Canned or jarred American worcesterberry gooseberries is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products — most commonly applesauce, but also broader food service inventory including canned vegetables, fruits, and specialty items used in institutional feeding programs. State and local buying under this code spans school nutrition districts, county social services departments, state corrections and veterans homes, and state health and human services agencies supplying residential facilities. The work solicited is straightforward product procurement: sealed bids or RFQs for case quantities of shelf-stable canned fruit delivered to central distribution points or individual facilities, with pricing quoted per unit, FOB destination prepaid, and delivery within 45 to 72 hours of order or within specified seasonal windows. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (nutrition departments), county boards of education and social services, state corrections departments, state veterans homes, and state health and human services commissions managing state-supported living centers and psychiatric hospitals.
