UNSPSC 50527205: Non GMO arauco olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO arauco 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 50527205 Non GMO arauco olives (Commodity) does not match the scope of the state and local opportunities recently tagged under this code. The seven most recent postings span fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, regional parks, healthcare coalitions, and local fruit-and-vegetable initiatives, covering petite bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, multi-item commodity buys, and produce sourcing within geographic radii. None of the opportunities reference arauco olives, non-GMO olives, or olives as a commodity line item. The postings do reflect a broader universe of food procurement tagged at the UNSPSC 50000000 tier (Produce), but the Commodity code 50527205 does not align with the actual work being solicited.

Issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county park and recreation authorities (Collier County), a healthcare coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition), and one state-level procurement (State of Georgia). Geographic activity spans Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County), Wisconsin (Madison), and Florida (Collier County). Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, with projected annual value of $78,000 for 70–90 cases weekly; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce encompassing over 200 line items due June 26, 2026; Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables from farms within 400 miles, due June 22, 2026; and Collier County's ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025. The code shows no recent activity with arauco olives or specialty olive procurement at the state and local level.
