UNSPSC 50372805: Canned or jarred organic red currants

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

UNSPSC 50372805 Canned or jarred organic red currants is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct activity under its literal scope, with state and local governments instead procuring a much broader range of canned and preserved fruit products — applesauce, pears, dried fruit bars, and generic canned goods — for institutional food service including corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, and state-supported living centers. The solicitations tagged under this code reflect the practical reality that state and local procurement offices use UNSPSC as a broad catch-all for preserved-fruit procurement rather than enforcing strict organic-or-red-currant specifications; vendors responding to these opportunities need to stock commodity canned fruit meeting USDA standards and FDA compliance, packed in juice or light syrup, with minimum shelf life of 12 months. Issuing bodies span state corrections departments, state health and human services commissions, independent school districts, county school systems, and municipal boards of education, with school nutrition programs appearing as the most frequent buyer across recent solicitations. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham, Liberty County) emerge as repeat purchasers in the recent-opportunities block.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with Texas, Georgia, and Oregon showing the most recent posting volume. Representative opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 (with a combined 10% state and Oregon-vendor preference available), Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables statewide with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years and a response deadline of March 19, 2026, and Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce including over 200 line items due June 26, 2026. School district procurement consistently requires Buy American compliance with 51% domestic agricultural commodity content for processed products, HACCP plans, and delivery to multiple school sites on fixed schedules; pricing is typically firm fixed for the contract period with cost-of-living adjustments available only at renewal or upon documented manufacturer price increases exceeding 5 percent. Responses are accepted through state e-procurement portals (OregonBuys, Bonfire, OpenGov) with sealed bids or electronic submissions required; insurance minimums typically run $1,000,000 general liability and $2,000,000 aggregate. The code presents a steady flow of institutional commodity purchasing but does not reflect specialized or organic-specific demand.
