UNSPSC 50562700: Non GMO currant purees

The type of non GMO currants known as non GMO currants which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50562700 Non-GMO currant purees (Class) covers fruit purees and processed fruit products that state and local governments procure for food service operations, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code shows limited direct alignment — the posted opportunities emphasize canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broad commodity food supply rather than currant purees narrowly. State and local issuing bodies pursuing this commodity family include school districts (Austin Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Dallas Independent School District), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). The mix reflects heavy school nutrition procurement activity concentrated in the K–12 food service space, where districts source finished food products and bulk ingredients for meal preparation.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in the Midwest (Missouri) and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, bids due July 31, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens (sealed bids due April 27, 2026); the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million in Area One (proposals due March 4, 2026); and Dallas Independent School District's RFP JC250079 for various food products for the 2026–2027 school year (due April 2, 2026). Pricing typically remains firm for the contract period, with delivery requirements specifying Monday–Friday windows to school sites or central distribution centers, and evaluation favoring lowest responsive and responsible bids meeting nutritional standards and Buy American compliance.
