UNSPSC 50362802: Canned or jarred waxy currants

The variety of currants known as waxy currants that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50362802 Canned or jarred waxy currants is a Commodity code that sees minimal state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope; recent opportunities tagged under this code involve canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and broad food supply contracts rather than waxy currants specifically. The few opportunities that do appear under the code suggest that state and local procurement offices—particularly departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, and school districts—use this taxonomy designation loosely when sourcing canned or preserved fruit products more broadly. When canned fruit purchases do surface, they typically support institutional food service at correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and school nutrition programs, where specifications demand USDA commodity compliance, firm fixed pricing on a per-unit or per-case basis, bulk delivery to central distribution points, and compliance with liability insurance and food safety standards.

Recent activity clusters in a handful of states. Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for canned applesauce in early 2026 (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, and ITB S-29100-00016975, due June 2, 2026), each soliciting roughly 2,000 cases at historical pricing near $21.83 per case with Oregon-goods and Oregon-vendor preferences totaling 10 percent combined. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued supplemental food and consumable procurements (IFB HHS0016792 and HHS0017449) covering statewide state hospitals and supported living centers with broader fruit categories alongside other food staples, due February and July 2026. School districts in Austin, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut have posted wider food service RFPs and ITBs that span multiple product categories including canned fruit but do not isolate currant products. The code shows no concentrated recent activity; opportunities are episodic and geographically scattered across the Midwest, South, and Pacific Northwest, with no indication of repeat buyers or standing demand cycles. Pursue this code only if your firm supplies bulk canned fruit to institutional food service and can align on quarterly or annual refresh cycles with state corrections and HHS procurement calendars.
