UNSPSC 50522802: Non GMO waxy currants

The variety of non GMO currants known as non GMO waxy 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 50522802 Non-GMO waxy currants, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The single representative opportunity in the recent-opportunities block—Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026)—solicits bananas, not currants, and the broader activity pool under this code encompasses fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, including apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus fruits, eggs, and other items spanning dozens of line items per solicitation. The mismatch between the code's stated commodity (non-GMO waxy currants) and the actual work being bought suggests either a classification error in the source data or minimal transactional volume in currants specifically within state and local procurement.

School districts and county school systems dominate recent activity: Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), 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), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia via GEC Buying Cooperative). The State of Georgia also solicited food and kitchen products (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, with additional activity in Wisconsin, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (sealed proposals due March 4, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST for Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program specialty produce delivery to 18 elementary schools with estimated annual budget of $600,000 (proposals due March 11, 2026); and Austin Independent School District's RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and a la carte beverages across multiple campuses (due March 11, 2026). School nutrition procurement typically uses RFP, RFB, IFB, and ITB notice types with response windows of two to six weeks and contracts running July 1 through June 30 with renewal options.
