UNSPSC 50527204: Non GMO amphissa olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO amphissa 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 50527204 Non GMO amphissa olives (Commodity) shows limited recent procurement activity aligned to its specific code name, with opportunities instead concentrated in broader fresh produce and food service categories. The opportunities under this taxonomy span school district food service operations and state purchasing, with solicitations targeting schools' meal programs and child nutrition services across multiple jurisdictions. Recent postings reveal that state and local education agencies are buying fresh produce in large volumes—bananas, apples, peppers, broccoli, carrots, berries, citrus, and leafy greens for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, along with supplemental USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program funding. Vendors delivering to school districts must meet strict food safety standards including HACCP plans, 24/7 recall accessibility, traceability documentation, and Buy American compliance requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed items. School districts also enforce quality thresholds such as minimum shelf life (typically five to seven days), temperature-controlled delivery, and 98 percent fill rates on orders. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with participation from independent and county boards of education managing centralized nutrition programs, and occasional cooperative purchasing arrangements through entities like the GEC Buying Cooperative consolidating demand across multiple districts.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia—including Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, and Douglas County school systems—alongside significant recent solicitations from Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa) and Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD). Recent representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, specifying 70–90 cases weekly at $78,000 annual value with tight specifications on ripeness, temperature, and delivery windows; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items with delivery to three school sites, bid opening June 29, 2026; and Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative procuring $4.4 million to $1.1 million annually across two Georgia regions, with proposals due March 4, 2026. The code's nominal scope (Non GMO amphissa olives) does not align with the actual solicitation activity, indicating that the recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect general fresh produce procurement rather than olive-specific purchases.
