UNSPSC 50532806: Dried non GMO white currants

The variety of non GMO currants known as non GMO white 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 50532806 Dried non-GMO white currants is a Commodity code that sits at the lowest tier of the taxonomy, naming a single dried fruit product. State and local governments procure dried non-GMO white currants as ingredients within broader school nutrition and food service contracts—rarely as standalone line items, but rather as components of aggregated food and produce procurement for school lunch programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply. The code appears in purchasing systems used by school districts and county health and human services agencies, though recent opportunities show that most solicitations tag the dried currant specification within larger IFBs covering multiple fruit and vegetable categories, processed foods, or comprehensive grocery offerings rather than isolated procurement of this single product.

Recent state and local opportunities under this code span school districts and county commissions across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 line items of grocery items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, with bids due June 30, 2026, requiring Buy American compliance and adherence to Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards; Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce covering over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with proposals due July 13, 2026, valued at $1.5 million for the prior contract period. The Georgia state procurement office and Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi also posted food supply solicitations in the May–June 2026 window. Dried non-GMO white currants as a specific commodity are likely to appear as subordinate line items in these broader institutional food procurements rather than as primary contract vehicles, making bid pursuit advisable only when responding to multi-category grocery or produce RFQs where the currant specification appears explicitly in the detailed line-item schedule.
