UNSPSC 50312800: Organic currants

The type of organic fruit known as organic currants

UNSPSC 50312800 Organic currants is a Class code that encompasses the supply of fresh produce items to state and local government entities, primarily school districts, county parks and recreation departments, and healthcare coalitions. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show that school nutrition programs and public food service operations actually purchase a broad range of fresh fruits, vegetables, and specialty produce — including apples, berries, citrus, leafy greens, root vegetables, and ready-to-eat processed fruit and vegetable snacks — rather than currants specifically. The issuing bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county government (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and healthcare organizations (Marion Health Care Coalition). School districts dominate the activity, with multiple districts issuing RFQs, RFBs, and ITNs for produce under both standard procurement and USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program initiatives.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, bids due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison (5,900 servings weekly, contract September 1 through November 30, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce covering multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty items (contract July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027); Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (June 22, 2026 submission deadline); Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid encompassing 300+ food items including fruits and vegetables (bids due June 8, 2026); and Collier County's ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park including concession operations (proposals due March 6, 2025). Geographic sourcing preferences, Buy American provisions, and local-vendor preferences worth 5–15 evaluation points are common across these solicitations. School districts regularly apply diverse-owned business set-asides and HACCP/food-safety compliance requirements as evaluation or award conditions.
