UNSPSC 50527208: Non GMO cerignola olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO cerignola 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 50527208 Non GMO cerignola olives is a Commodity code naming a single produce item, but recent state and local opportunities show the code seeing minimal direct procurement activity specific to this product. The source documents six recent opportunities across state and school district food-service procurement, of which none explicitly reference non-GMO cerignola olives as a distinct line item. Three solicitations—from Madison Metropolitan School District for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, Hancock County Board of Education for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items, and Bartow County School System for local fresh fruits and vegetables—represent the broader produce-procurement landscape in which this Commodity code sits, but these opportunities focus on bulk commodity fruits, vegetables, and prepared items rather than specialty olive products. The remaining three opportunities (Collier County regional park concession food services, Marion Health Care Coalition produce proposals, and Early County Board of Education line-by-line food bids) address general food procurement or fresh produce without itemizing olives.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Wisconsin school districts, with scattered county and municipal food-service procurement in Florida and South Carolina. Issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County) and county recreation or education boards, with one regional health coalition. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's July 2026 RFB for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, delivery to Madison Food Production Center) and Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce across multiple apple varieties, berries, and root vegetables (contract July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026). The code shows negligible documented recent demand specific to non-GMO cerignola olives in state and local procurement.
