UNSPSC 50527210: Non GMO empeltre olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO empeltre 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 50527210 Non GMO empeltre olives (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local school nutrition procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific olive varietal, but the recent opportunities posted under this code are exclusively for fresh produce staples—bananas, apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, and eggs—procured by school districts and one state purchasing office for child nutrition programs. No solicitation in the recent block names olives, GMO status, or empeltre cultivars as a line item or procurement focus.

School nutrition procurement under this code spans Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida, with activity concentrated among county and independent school districts. Issuing bodies include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), and the State of Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST for fresh fruit and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (proposals due March 11, 2026, estimated annual budget $600,000). The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the actual procurement activity signals either a cataloging error in the source data or a code assignment that does not reflect operational buying patterns in school nutrition.
