UNSPSC 50312802: Organic waxy currants

The variety of organic currants known as organic waxy currants

UNSPSC 50312802 Organic waxy currants, a Commodity code, describes fresh produce items that state and local governments procure for food service operations, primarily school nutrition programs and county park concession facilities. The recent solicitations under this code show that state and local buyers are actually purchasing a much broader spectrum of fresh produce — petite bananas, fresh fruits and vegetables for school snack programs, mixed fresh produce for school nutrition, and local-sourced seasonal fruits and vegetables — rather than the narrow product category the code name implies. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Bartow County School System all posting multiple opportunities. County and state-level entities also participate: Collier County Board of County Commissioners for park food services, and the State of Georgia for kitchen products. The work centers on reliable supply of fresh produce meeting specific ripeness, quality, size, and safety standards, with delivery to central food production or distribution points during defined school years or operational seasons.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin, with recent opportunities from Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Hancock County and Early County in Georgia, Bartow County School System in Georgia, and the State of Georgia. Collier County, Florida also posted a food-services opportunity. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's IFB for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, projecting $78,000 annual contract value and requiring 70–90 cases weekly in 150-count case packs with strict temperature and ripeness specifications; Madison Metropolitan's RFB for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, requiring Wisconsin-sourced produce delivered ready-to-eat with farm-of-origin traceability; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, specialty fruits) with bids due June 26, 2026 and delivery to three school locations; and Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, with proposals due June 22, 2026. All school district opportunities emphasize HACCP compliance, E-Verify authorization, commercial liability insurance, and affirmative action or diverse-business certifications where required.
