UNSPSC 50522804: Non GMO black currants

The variety of non GMO currants known as non GMO black 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 50522804 Non GMO black currants is a Commodity code that names a single fresh-produce item, but recent state and local solicitations do not show purchasing activity specific to black currants. The seven opportunities in the recent block span general produce procurement (fresh fruits and vegetables, petite bananas, and mixed fresh-produce line items for school nutrition programs, a county parks concession operation, and a healthcare coalition), all of which could theoretically include black currants as one line item among dozens or hundreds of others, but none of the posted solicitations or summaries specify black currants as a named item or requirement. The code sees no identifiable dedicated market signal in current state and local procurement.

School districts across Georgia, Wisconsin, and other states dominate the recent activity under broader produce categories—Madison Metropolitan School District (petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks), Hancock County Board of Education (over 200 fresh-produce line items), Early County Board of Education (300+ food items), and Bartow County School System (local fresh fruits and vegetables)—alongside a county parks concession operation (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), a healthcare coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition), and a statewide general-food-products bid (State of Georgia). Opportunities run as RFB (Requests for Bid), IFB (Invitations for Bid), ITN (Invitation to Negotiate), and RFP (Request for Proposal) notice types with response windows between May and August 2026. Without explicit black-currant line items in any recent posting, this code does not signal actionable procurement activity in the state and local market right now.
