UNSPSC 50532802: Dried non GMO waxy currants

The variety of non GMO currants known as non GMO waxy currants that have been dried for preservation. 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 50532802 Dried non GMO waxy currants is a Commodity code that encompasses dried specialty fruits for institutional and school food service, though recent state and local opportunities show limited direct solicitation for currants specifically and broader purchasing for food and consumable products under which currants may be purchased as a line item. State and local governments buying under this code span school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county commissioners' offices. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, driven by National School Lunch Program compliance requirements and Buy American provisions mandating minimum domestic agricultural content. Vendors competing for these contracts must meet Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, submit nutritional analyses and product labels, maintain appropriate food service liability insurance, and accept orders through school ordering systems such as LINQ School Solutions. Deliveries typically occur on pallets to central warehouses and individual school sites with firm pricing and no fuel surcharges permitted.

Recent opportunities reflect purchasing across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items spanning over 1,100 line items (including dried fruits and specialty items) for the Bridgeport Board of Education with an IFB due June 30, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 with proposals due July 13, 2026, supported by a prior-period value of $1.5 million. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce and specialty items with bids due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items. The Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi solicited Child Nutrition Summer Food Service Program packaged meal boxes with sealed bids due April 29, 2026. Contract terms typically run one fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) with optional renewal or extension periods at the purchasing entity's discretion, and pricing is evaluated on lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder or best-value bases with CPI adjustments available where specified.
