UNSPSC 50302806: White currants

The variety of currants known as white currants

UNSPSC 50302806 White currants is a Commodity code for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to state and local institutions, though the recent opportunities block shows no direct procurement of white currants specifically. Instead, state and local governments under this code tier are buying broad-basket fresh produce contracts—apples, bananas, berries, vegetables, and specialty items—for institutional food service at schools, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior centers, parks, and child care programs. Purchases span single-item contracts (petite bananas, fresh fruit snack boxes) to comprehensive produce supply agreements covering dozens of line items, with delivery typically required multiple times per week in refrigerated trucks to multiple sites. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bartow County, Early County, DeSoto County in Georgia and Mississippi; Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut; Edinburg and Head Start of Greater Dallas in Texas) and state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health, Georgia state procurement), supplemented by county parks departments (Collier County, Florida), cities (San Antonio, Bridgeport), and specialized authorities (Marion Health Care Coalition).

Texas and Georgia dominate recent activity, with a cluster of Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicitations for fresh fruit and vegetable warehouse supply (Snyder, Wynne, Palestine facilities, all posted September–October 2026), Georgia school-district produce bids spanning May–June 2026 across Bartow, Hancock, Dougherty, Bryan, and Early Counties, and a separate Georgia state produce procurement (posted May 15, 2026). Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin posted two solicitations in July 2026—one for petite bananas ($78,000 estimated annual value, RFB 4162, due July 29) and one for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (5,900 servings weekly, RFB 4163, due July 29, contingent on federal Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grant approval). The Illinois Department of Corrections and Mental Health each issued produce supply requests in August–September 2026. Collier County, Florida issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025, with local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice fresh fruit and vegetables for Snyder Food Warehouse (IW267420, due October 14, 2026) and the Illinois Department of Corrections fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, small business set-aside, quotes due September 3, 2026, bi-weekly delivery of specified items).
