UNSPSC 50542800: Frozen non GMO currants

The type of non GMO fruit known as non GMO currants that have been frozen 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 50542800 Frozen non-GMO currants is a Class code that does not align meaningfully with the state and local procurement activity present in the recent-opportunities block. The sourced solicitations are comprehensive school nutrition programs spanning groceries, fresh produce, frozen foods, eggs, and food service distribution — none of which specifically name or prioritize frozen currants as a line item. While frozen fruit appears within the broader scope of some school nutrition contracts, the available records show no targeted demand for frozen non-GMO currants as a distinct commodity.

The issuing bodies across the source are school districts and school boards (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and the State of Georgia), with most activity concentrated in Georgia and isolated opportunities in Connecticut and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for grocery items spanning 1,100+ line items with a June 30 deadline, Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce (200+ items, due June 26), and the Douglas County School System's February 2026 RFP for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district cooperative with an estimated $5.5 million annual value and a March 4 deadline. The code shows little relevant recent activity; state and local governments sourcing under this taxonomy are buying broad food-service assortments to support National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs, not specialized currant products.
