UNSPSC 50332806: Dried organic white currants

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

UNSPSC 50332806 Dried organic white currants (Commodity) covers dried currant products and similar dried fruits procured by state and local food service operators, though the recent solicitation activity under this code does not reflect demand specifically for dried white currants. Instead, school districts, correctional facilities, and other state and local nutrition programs are actively soliciting dried fruits more broadly—including dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blends, prunes, and mixed dried fruit categories—as components of larger food service contracts. The purchasing pattern shows school nutrition programs as the dominant buyer type, supported by corrections departments and county food service operations; these agencies treat dried fruits as commodity-level line items within annual grocery or produce contracts rather than as standalone procurements.

School districts across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Texas dominate recent activity, with procurement officers issuing IFBs and RFPs on annual cycles aligned to the July-June fiscal year. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition (Georgia) issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 response deadline encompassing over 200 produce line items; the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department issuing ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts on January 28, 2026 with responses due February 5, 2026, specifying dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans for the Elmwood Correctional Facility; and the Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs with a March 4, 2026 deadline, covering 30 school districts across two Georgia regions with estimated spending of approximately $5.5 million combined. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content, HACCP compliance, and firm fixed pricing for full contract terms are standard across all solicitations. Response windows typically run four to six weeks, with public bid openings and award timelines extending into late spring and early summer for July 1 contract start dates.
