UNSPSC 50352806: Frozen organic white currants

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

UNSPSC 50352806 Frozen organic white currants, a Commodity code, describes specialty produce items that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs to support federal child nutrition initiatives. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show school districts and education agencies buying fresh and frozen produce—including berries, vegetables, and fruits—as part of comprehensive food-service contracts spanning breakfast and lunch programs. The work encompasses line-item procurement of frozen and fresh produce meeting USDA nutrition standards, whole-grain and low-sodium requirements, food-safety compliance (HACCP plans, 24/7 recall accessibility), Buy American domestic-sourcing provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), and delivery to multiple school sites on firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education (city and county level), with occasional state-level participation; repeat active buyers include Hancock County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Early County Board of Education, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri.

Recent procurement activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, with secondary activity in Connecticut and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issuing IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items (including frozen products) due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education issuing IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning 200+ items due June 26, 2026; the City Schools of Decatur issuing IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026; Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts, estimated annual spending $5.5 million, due March 4, 2026; and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System issuing Bid 26-34 for 72 fresh produce items due April 23, 2026. School districts uniformly require vendor compliance with E-Verify, debarment certification, general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000), questions-and-addenda cycles, and multi-week award timelines post-bid opening.
