UNSPSC 50522800: Non GMO currants

The type of non GMO fruit known as non GMO currants. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50522800 Non GMO currants, a Class code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's abstract definition—non-GMO currants—does not match the work actually being solicited in the recent opportunities block. The nine documented state and local opportunities posted between February and July 2026 are school district food-service procurements for fresh produce, fresh fruits and vegetables, and food products; none specifically reference currants, non-GMO or otherwise, as a line item or primary commodity. The solicitations instead target broad fresh-produce supply contracts encompassing bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, eggs, and prepared produce for school nutrition programs.

The issuing bodies are exclusively school districts and boards of education across Georgia, Texas, and Florida, including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), and Austin Independent School District (Texas). School districts dominate procurement activity under this code. Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia, with eight of nine opportunities originating from Georgia school systems; Texas and Florida represent secondary activity. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026, with approximately 5,900 servings weekly), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026, contract July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027), and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts (estimated annual spending $5.5 million, due March 4, 2026). The code shows no recent activity specific to non-GMO currants as a standalone commodity or meaningful procurement category.
