UNSPSC 50332802: Dried organic waxy currants

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

UNSPSC 50332802 Dried organic waxy currants (Commodity) describes preserved dried fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs, correctional facility food services, and state agency meal operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and state corrections departments sourcing dried fruit alongside broader fresh-produce and food-supply contracts. The work encompasses specification, sourcing, and delivery of dried fruit meeting USDA grade standards, food safety certifications (HACCP plans, E-Verify, debarment verification), nutritional labeling, and Buy American compliance requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, municipal boards of education, state corrections departments, and state agencies; school nutrition programs appear to be the primary customer segment based on recent activity.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Sparta, Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 for fresh produce including dried fruits across over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026 and delivery to three school sites. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (IFB BNB053266, due June 26, 2026) covering 115 line items of protein, dairy, and fruit and vegetable products with MBE/CBE certification applicable. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 food line items to supply multiple TDCJ warehouse locations, with responses extended to May 4, 2026. An earlier TDCJ solicitation (Bid IW236532, February 2026) specifically targeted whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count size, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for the Corpus Christi location. Contracts typically run one school or fiscal year with firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery, and payment within 30–45 days of inspection and invoicing.
