UNSPSC 50342800: Frozen currants

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

UNSPSC 50342800 Frozen currants (Class) covers procurement of frozen currant products for institutional food service, though the recent solicitation activity shows this code tagged to substantially broader grocery and food procurement by state and local agencies. The code appears misaligned with the actual scope of work being solicited: state and local buyers are issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for comprehensive food service supply contracts spanning hundreds of line items—frozen and fresh produce, proteins, dairy, pantry staples, beverages, and food service consumables—rather than currants specifically. School districts, state health and human services agencies, counties, and correctional facilities dominate the issuing-body mix. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (response due July 27, 2026) covering 110+ line items with a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226.36; the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB BNB052266 for 1,100+ grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program (response due June 30, 2026); Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP for frozen foods, produce, and meat (estimated value $969,460.94, sealed bids due June 24, 2026); and the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center with prior-year spend of $1.5 million (response due July 13, 2026).

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut, with secondary solicitations from California, Missouri, Florida, Oregon, and New Jersey. School nutrition programs drive the largest volume—Hancock County Schools (Georgia) IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) grocery bid (due April 29, 2026 with 900+ line items), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia) school nutrition procurement (due May 4, 2026), and multiple Georgia districts procuring through the GEC Buying Cooperative. State institutional food service procurement is steady: Texas HHSC facilities statewide, Oregon Department of Corrections (frozen berries ITB S2910000016590, due April 23, 2026), and Santa Clara County (dried fruits and nuts ITB for detention facilities, due February 5, 2026). The code exhibits no recent activity specifically for frozen currants; tagging appears to reflect broad food commodity classification rather than category-specific procurement. Pursuit is viable only if your firm supplies comprehensive multi-category food service rather than currants as a specialty commodity.
