UNSPSC 50332800: Dried organic currants

The type of organic fruit known as organic currants that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50332800 Dried organic currants is a Class code describing whole dried fruit products that state and local governments—primarily school districts and corrections agencies—procure for food service operations. Recent solicitations show substantial demand for dried fruit in institutional meal programs, though the actual opportunities posted under this code span a broader commodity portfolio that includes fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and processed foods rather than dried currants specifically. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, with Hancock County Schools in Georgia, the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, and the State of Georgia all posting nutrition-focused food procurement RFBs in May and June 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice also solicits food commodities for institutional feeding at multiple locations. These issuing bodies typically seek single or multiple awards and require suppliers to meet Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), USDA grade certifications, HACCP or food safety compliance plans, and comprehensive insurance coverage including commercial general liability minimums ranging from $500,000 to $1 million.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Hancock County Board of Education, Sparta, Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items due June 26, 2026, requiring delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027, with firm pricing and all transportation included. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited 115 line items of commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Bridgeport Board of Education via electronic submission due June 26, 2026, requiring delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center through June 30, 2027, with Net 45 payment terms and potential for a one-year contract extension. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 food line items across five Texas warehouse areas with a revised due date of May 4, 2026, covering proteins, dairy, grains, and produce with FOB Destination delivery to six TDCJ distribution points and contract term through August 31, 2027, plus two optional one-year renewals. The State of Georgia posted a May 15, 2026 RFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026, though detailed scope was attached to the solicitation document. The code shows limited recent activity specifically tied to dried currants alone; most posted opportunities bundle dried fruit within larger institutional food procurement portfolios.
