UNSPSC 50302804: Black currants

Dark purple or black berries, 5-6 mm across, bristly, with stalked glands

UNSPSC 50302804 Black currants, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source records show no solicitations tagged to this code, and the sole production-related opportunity—a dried fruits and nuts bid from the County of Santa Clara—covers raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans rather than black currants. The remaining 26 opportunities in the dataset are food-service procurements by school districts, municipalities, and child nutrition programs seeking fresh produce (apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, peppers, potatoes, tomatoes), beverages, and grocery staples to support school lunch programs, CACFP meal services, and senior nutrition initiatives across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, California, and other states. None of these solicitations explicitly request black currants as a line item or procurement category.

Without evidence of active market demand under this code in the recent opportunities block, the category signals minimal pursuit potential in state and local procurement right now. Business development should monitor future school nutrition RFPs and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program solicitations (which show steady volume and geographic spread), but current signals for black currant sourcing specifically are absent from this dataset.
