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 is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local contracting activity tagged under it does not reflect procurement of non-GMO amphissa olives specifically. Instead, the recent opportunities solicited under this code cover broad fresh produce categories — fresh fruits and vegetables, petite bananas, and general food service supplies — across school nutrition programs, county parks, healthcare coalitions, and state agencies. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity suggests either administrative misclassification or a standing cooperative contract framework that captures multiple produce line items under a single commodity number. State and local governments procuring under this code are primarily school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County), county governments (Collier County), and specialized public bodies (Marion Health Care Coalition), with school nutrition programs dominating the recent opportunities.

The geographic spread spans Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and a state-level procurement), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), Florida (Collier County), and a healthcare coalition without explicit state designation. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty produce; sealed bids due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026, with award anticipated July 20, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas at $78,000 annual contract value (bids due July 29, 2026), and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid covering 300+ items including produce, meats, dairy, and non-food supplies (bids due June 8, 2026). School districts are applying local-vendor preferences, organic-produce discounts, geographic sourcing mandates within 400 miles, and diversity set-asides; all opportunities emphasize HACCP compliance, food traceability by farm of origin, and compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable. The code shows consistent activity but lacks recent opportunities specifically tied to amphissa olives as a standalone commodity.
