UNSPSC 50322802: Dried waxy currants

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

UNSPSC 50322802 Dried waxy currants is a Commodity code that encompasses dried currants and similar dried fruit products supplied to state and local food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show minimal direct procurement activity for dried waxy currants specifically; instead, state and local buyers source dried fruits as part of broader produce, grocery, or specialty food commodity contracts. The procurement mix includes school districts (the dominant buyer type), state agencies, county corrections departments, and regional cooperatives purchasing for multiple districts. When dried fruits appear in solicitations, they are typically bundled with fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, and other staple items rather than procured as standalone line items.

Activity in dried fruit procurement is sparse and geographically dispersed. The most directly relevant recent opportunity is Santa Clara County's Invitation to Bids (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617) for dried fruits and nuts to supply the Elmwood Correctional Facility, posted January 28, 2026, with bids due February 5, 2026, seeking five line items including dried raisins, dried cranberries, and dried tropical fruit mix on an all-or-none basis with an estimated annual spend across all items. Beyond that, dried currants do not appear as explicitly named line items in the major school nutrition solicitations posted in the first half of 2026 from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), or Douglas County School System (Georgia), which collectively source hundreds of fresh and processed produce items but do not surface dried waxy currants as a tracked commodity. The code's recent activity is concentrated in correctional food service procurement in California, with school nutrition programs in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic states representing the secondary market but one that does not currently isolate dried currants as a standalone procurement category.
