UNSPSC 50372802: Canned or jarred organic waxy currants

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

UNSPSC 50372802 Canned or jarred organic waxy currants, a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged with this code span broad food-service procurement — shelf-stable canned and fresh produce, dried fruit products, and consumables for institutional feeding programs — but do not center on organic currants or currant products specifically. State and local buyers under this code include county boards of education and nutrition departments (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), state agencies managing correctional facilities and veterans' homes (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners). The work involves procuring packaged and fresh food items for large institutional kitchens, warehouses, and distribution centers serving prisoners, veterans, students, and public-facility residents.

Recent activity shows solicitations concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut issuing multiple opportunities since May 2026. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County's IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, first delivery within 60 days, historical price $21.84 per case), with bids due July 31, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (210 line items, bread, proteins, dairy, frozen specialty foods, fruits, vegetables, consumables, maximum contract value $4.5 million over three years), with responses due March 19, 2026. Most solicitations specify brand-or-equal substitutions, USDA and FDA compliance, firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and compliance with Buy American provisions or state prevailing-wage requirements.
