UNSPSC 50522806: Non GMO white currants

The variety of non GMO currants known as non GMO white 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 50522806 Non GMO white currants (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The recent solicitations uniformly request fresh produce for school nutrition programs—bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and eggs—across multiple school districts and regional cooperatives, but none solicit non-GMO white currants or any specialized berry variety. The code's nominal scope (white currants as a discrete commodity) does not match what state and local governments are actually procuring under it, which is bulk fresh produce for institutional food service across diverse fruit and vegetable categories. This mismatch suggests either a coding error in the state and local procurement systems or that the code is used as a catch-all for fresh produce procurement when more specific commodity codes are not applied at bid time.

The recent activity shows robust demand for fresh produce contracts among Georgia and Texas school districts, with secondary representation from Wisconsin, Florida, and multi-state regional cooperatives. 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), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Douglas County School System (Georgia cooperative serving 30 districts), and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) have all posted RFPs, RFBs, and IFBs since February 2026. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, contract value $78,000, due July 29, 2026) and Bulloch County School District's IFP for 24 locally-grown produce items within 200 miles of the county (proposal due May 4, 2026). Georgia dominates recent activity with at least fifteen active solicitations, while Texas and Florida each show two to three live opportunities. No recent activity under this code targets specialty or non-GMO certification requirements, and pursuit of this code for white currant or specialty berry supply is not supported by current demand signals.
