UNSPSC 50542803: Frozen non GMO desert currants

The variety of non GMO currants known as non GMO desert 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 50542803 Frozen non-GMO desert currants (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity relevant to the code's nominal scope. School districts and county boards of education are the primary state and local buyers soliciting under food-service UNSPSC categories, but the nine recent opportunities posted between January and July 2026 center on broad grocery procurement, fresh produce, and food-supply distribution contracts that do not isolate frozen non-GMO desert currants as a distinct line item or focus. The Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 bid for over 1,100 grocery-line items, Hancock County Schools' June 2026 fresh-produce solicitation spanning 200+ line items, and Rockwood School District's April 2026 grocery bid across 900+ items all encompass frozen fruits as part of wider commodity baskets rather than specialty frozen currants. None of the available solicitations name frozen non-GMO desert currants explicitly or suggest vendor specialization in that narrow product category.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System) and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), with secondary activity in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). School nutrition programs funded through the National School Lunch Program dominate the issuing-body mix, all requiring Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, and food-safety documentation. Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce due June 26, 2026, and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million across 30 districts. The code shows no distinct market momentum for frozen non-GMO desert currants as a standalone procurement category; vendors pursuing school nutrition contracts under this code should treat currants as a secondary line within broader frozen-fruit or specialty-produce offerings.
