UNSPSC 50322801: Dried hudson bay currants

The variety of currants known as hudson bay currants that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50322801 Dried hudson bay currants is a Commodity code that in practice spans a narrow slice of school nutrition procurement — the recent state and local solicitations under this code show little activity specifically for dried currants, but rather reveal a broader pattern of school districts and state agencies buying fresh produce, dried fruits, and related food items for cafeteria operations. Hancock County Schools in Georgia issued an IFB in June 2026 for fresh produce across 200+ line items for the 2026–27 school year, and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education sought bids on 115 commodity line items (eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products) in the same period. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple food procurement invitations, including one for whole pitted dried prunes and another for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items with firm fixed pricing and FOB Destination delivery to multiple warehouse locations. Issuing bodies are primarily school districts and state agencies operating nutrition or food-service functions; school boards appear most frequently in the recent record.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), the State of Georgia purchasing on behalf of its agencies, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice all posted solicitations between May and June 2026. Hancock County Schools' IFB closed June 26, 2026, with delivery required to three school locations (Central Middle/High School, M.E. Lewis Elementary, and Early Head Start) on a July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 contract term; the Bridgeport Board of Education's commodity bid also closed June 26, 2026, with delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center on a through-June-30-2027 contract and the requirement for TITAN School Solutions ordering integration. The Texas TDCJ's cafeteria food products IFB (May 2026, extended to May 4, 2026 closing) covers delivery to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas with a contract term through August 31, 2027 plus two optional one-year renewals. All three major procurements imposed Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed goods) and mandated firm fixed pricing for the full contract period with transportation prepaid or included.
