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 is a Commodity code representing a highly specialized fresh produce line item that rarely appears as a standalone solicitation driver in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities under this code reflect instead a broader pattern: school districts, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, and other public entities procuring fresh produce through multi-item RFBs and RFPs where non-GMO white currants, if included at all, represent a single line among dozens or hundreds of produce commodities. The scope of work tracked under this code spans school nutrition programs (National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs), county parks food concessions, healthcare facility food service, and community programs such as the USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county governments (Collier County), state departments (State of Georgia), and specialized healthcare purchasing coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). School districts dominate the recent activity, driven by state and federal nutrition mandates and standardized school-year procurement cycles.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest, with recent solicitations posted from Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and the State of Georgia), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and Florida (Collier County). The most recent representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District Food & Nutrition's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 fresh produce line items for the 2026-27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026), and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026). None of these opportunities explicitly name non-GMO white currants as a specified item; the code shows no standalone or prominently featured solicitations for this commodity during the recent period. Vendors pursuing this code should position themselves as part of regional produce distributors able to supply specialty items within larger school nutrition and institutional food-service contracts rather than as dedicated suppliers of this single line item.
