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 describes specialty table olives, but the recent state and local contract opportunities show no purchasing activity aligned with this code. The nine opportunities posted between February and July 2026 span school district fresh produce and food service contracts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida; none reference olives, cracked or whole, or specialty preserved vegetables in the Provençal tradition. The opportunities instead solicit fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and beverages for National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that this specific commodity sees no active procurement at the school district or state level during this period.

School districts in Georgia (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, Douglas County cooperatively), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Texas (McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District) are the primary issuing bodies, with solicitations running from February through July 2026 for produce contracts effective July 2026 through June 2027. Representatives include Glynn County Board of Education IFB 27-02 (sealed bids due April 14, 2026), Bulloch County School District RFP for locally grown produce within 200 miles (sealed proposals due May 4, 2026, estimated $78,000 annual value for petite bananas alone at Madison Metropolitan), and Douglas County School System RFP for 30 cooperating districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across Area One and Area Two. If your firm competes in fresh produce distribution to institutional food service, this code assignment warrants clarification with procurement offices before pursuit.
