UNSPSC 50332805: Dried organic red currants

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

UNSPSC 50332805 Dried organic red currants is a Commodity code that covers dehydrated currants and similar dried berry products procured for institutional food service. State and local governments buying under this code are almost exclusively school districts and correctional facilities sourcing ingredients for cafeteria meal programs and inmate food services. The scope of work is narrow: dried currant supply at volume for bulk food service, typically in pre-portioned units or bulk cases. Issuing bodies are primarily school nutrition programs and detention facility food services operated by county sheriffs or state corrections departments. The code's nominal focus on "dried organic red currants" reflects a specific commodity variant, but actual recent opportunities tagged to this code span a broader range of dried fruit procurement — including dried cranberries, raisins, tropical fruit blends, and mixed dried nuts — as part of larger institutional food supply contracts.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and West. Georgia leads recent solicitations, with Hancock County Schools (Sparta), Liberty County Schools (Hinesville), Douglas County Schools (Douglasville), and Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools all posting fresh and dried produce RFPs or IFBs between February and June 2026; Santa Clara County, California posted an ITB for dried fruits and nuts in January 2026; and Texas corrections posted a separate dried prunes bid in early 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB posted June 10, 2026 (due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items including berries, with delivery to three school sites; Santa Clara County's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts posted January 28, 2026 (due February 5, 2026), requiring dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans for the Sheriff's Department Correction facility on an all-or-none basis; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 issued through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million. Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) and USDA compliance requirements appear across all school district solicitations; HACCP plans and food recall procedures are standard. Contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 with firm fixed pricing for the performance period and optional renewal periods spanning one to four years. Payment terms range from Net 30 to Net 45 days.
