UNSPSC 50527209: Non GMO cracked provencal olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO cracked provencal 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 50527209 Non GMO cracked provencal olives is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty olive products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations show limited direct activity under this specific code—most recent school district, county park, and healthcare food procurement focuses on broader fresh produce categories rather than specialty prepared olives. State and local governments soliciting food products under the broader produce and food-service family include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county governments (Collier County), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state agencies (State of Georgia). The scope of work across these solicitations spans fresh fruits and vegetables, processed food items, dairy, grains, and kitchen supplies for school nutrition programs, park concessions, and healthcare operations; evaluation criteria typically weight cost at 30 to 40 percent, vendor qualifications and experience at 15 to 20 percent, compliance with food safety and Buy American provisions, and local or diverse-owned business preferences where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026 for over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026. The Bartow County School System (Georgia) posted an RFP on May 21, 2026 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, with proposals due June 22, 2026 and contract award anticipated for July 20, 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) posted separate RFBs on July 8, 2026 for petite bananas (bids due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (bids due July 29, 2026, contingent on USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program federal grant approval), both with a Wisconsin-sourcing preference. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an ITN on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, with proposals due March 6, 2025, offering a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. Because UNSPSC 50527209 is narrowly defined as non-GMO cracked provencal olives and recent opportunities do not name this specific product line, activity directly applicable to the code is not present in current state and local procurement records.
