UNSPSC 50373201: Canned or jarred organic early sulphur gooseberries

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

UNSPSC 50373201 Canned or jarred organic early sulphur gooseberries is a Commodity code that in practice covers a much broader range of shelf-stable and refrigerated food products purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service — including canned fruits and vegetables, proteins, dairy, bakery items, condiments, and related consumables — rather than the narrow product category the code name suggests. Recent solicitations show that schools, counties, state corrections facilities, health and human services agencies, and municipal nutrition centers purchase multi-line-item food baskets under this code family, with individual opportunities ranging from dozens of line items (fresh produce for school nutrition programs) to several hundred (comprehensive food service contracts for state corrections and institutional healthcare). Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education and commissioners, independent school districts, municipal nutrition centers, and state-supported living facilities. The code sees active procurement across multiple states with no single geographic concentration.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the scope: Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia posted an IFQ in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) with quotes due October 19, 2026, for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on a brand-specific basis in August 2026, with proposals due August 24. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an ITB in July 2026 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, under a 5 percent combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-vendor preference. Austin Independent School District requested proposals in June 2026 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB in June 2026 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center under a historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period. Activity is concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Illinois), with school-year procurement cycles driving solicitations in May and June.
