UNSPSC 50352804: Frozen organic black currants

Dark purple or black berries, 5-6 mm across, bristly, with stalked glands that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50352804 Frozen organic black currants is a Commodity code that reflects state and local procurement of shelf-stable and specialty food products for institutional nutrition programs, though the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for frozen organic black currants specifically. Instead, state and local buying under this code tier appears embedded within larger food-service RFQs and IFBs that span multiple produce and prepared-food categories. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county governments purchasing on behalf of nutrition services, food and community services departments, and the National School Lunch Program. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, and Early County Board of Education appear as active buyers; the State of Georgia also posted a consolidated food-supplies RFQ in May 2026.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Gwinnett County posted an RFQ on October 13, 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces for the Department of Community Services. Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB on June 10, 2026 (bids due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce across over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year, with delivery to multiple school sites.
