The variety of currant which are dark purple or black berries, 5-6 mm across, bristly, with stalked glands which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50383204 Black currant purees is a Commodity code, and state and local governments procure it rarely under this specific designation; recent solicitations show no directly relevant activity for black currant purees themselves. Instead, the most recent opportunities under related food-service codes show school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies soliciting broad fruit and produce categories—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce bundles, and mixed food supplies that may include currant products as line items within larger foodservice portfolios. The scope of work tracked under food commodity codes spans acquisition of processed and fresh fruits for institutional meal programs, corrections facilities, and state-supported living centers, typically procured through IFB, RFP, or ITB notices with firm fixed pricing and FOB destination delivery terms.

Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health and human services, county and independent school districts, and state purchasing offices acting on behalf of multiple facilities. School districts represent the largest share of recent activity, with districts in Texas (Dallas ISD, Austin ISD), Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Connecticut (Bridgeport) actively bidding food service contracts in the first half of 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission also appear as repeat buyers. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with significant activity across the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned applesauce ITB (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026), the Texas HHSC supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792, extended to February 23, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, due April 27, 2026). All require firm pricing, comprehensive insurance, compliance with Buy American and USDA standards, and delivery to multiple school or institutional locations within specified windows.
