UNSPSC 50527201: Non GMO agrinion olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO agrinion olives. 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 50527201 Non GMO agrinion olives, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's stated category—non-GMO agrinion olives—does not match the fresh produce and food service solicitations appearing in the recent opportunities block, which focus on school nutrition programs buying bulk fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and produce staples for institutional food service rather than specialty olives or olive products. The recent opportunities instead reflect broad fresh produce procurement across multiple categories including apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, and eggs for school districts and related food service operations.

School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with activity concentrated in Georgia (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, Douglas County School System) and Texas (McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), alongside the State of Georgia and individual Florida and Georgia school nutrition programs. Most solicitations use IFB, RFP, or RFQ structures with response dates clustered in late March through July 2026. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school sites (bid due June 26, 2026), Bulloch County School District's IFP for locally grown produce within 200 miles (proposals due May 4, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP through GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending (proposals due March 4, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity for non-GMO agrinion olives or related specialty olive procurement under state and local government contracts.
