UNSPSC 50562702: Non GMO waxy currant purees

The variety of non GMO currants known as non GMO waxy currants which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50562702 Non GMO waxy currant purees is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty fruit purées and processed fruit products for institutional food service. Based on recent solicitations, state and local governments purchase these items as components of broader food-service contracts serving schools, corrections facilities, veterans' homes, and social-service agencies rather than as standalone line items. The recent opportunities block shows no dedicated solicitations for currant purées specifically; instead, the code appears nested within larger food-and-consumables procurements where fruit products, preserves, and prepared ingredients are bundled with proteins, vegetables, grains, and other staple items. Issuing bodies include state corrections and veterans' departments, county school boards, county social-service agencies, and municipal boards of education, with activity concentrated in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The actual buying pattern under this code reflects operational food service for institutionalized populations—schools, prisons, veterans' homes, and residential care facilities—where food items must meet USDA commodity standards, carry specific shelf-life and packaging requirements, and often comply with Buy American provisions or state-sourced preferences.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans the Southeast (Georgia, Connecticut), Midwest (Illinois), Southwest (Texas), and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with Texas and Georgia showing the highest frequency of institutional food-service solicitations. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned and processed products due October 19, 2026 (IWQ 140229); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million, proposals due July 13, 2026 (IFB HHS0017449); and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, with recent proposal deadlines in June and August 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections' canned applesauce procurements (ITBs S2910000016975 and S2910000017453) demonstrate USDA commodity compliance and state-preference pricing models typical of this tier. No recent opportunities naming currant purées explicitly appear in the block; the code shows little dedicated recent activity and may be underutilized or collapsed into higher-level family codes in current state and local solicitations.
