UNSPSC 50527212: Non GMO hondroelia olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO hondroelia 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 50527212 Non GMO hondroelia olives is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent activity aligned with its narrow product scope. State and local procurement records show no current solicitations for non-GMO hondroelia olives; the opportunities tagged under this code involve fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, with work actually being solicited covering bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, leafy greens, peppers, citrus, potatoes, eggs, and prepared fresh produce items. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (specialty olives) and the actual buying patterns (broad fresh produce categories for institutional food service) suggests this code does not reflect genuine market activity in state and local procurement right now.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Madison Metropolitan School District and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, multiple Georgia county school systems (Hancock, Bartow, Early, Bulloch, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn, Douglas), and independent school districts in Texas (McAllen, Austin). Representative recent opportunities span RFBs, RFPs, and IFBs: Madison Metropolitan School District issued RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000, and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with 5,900 weekly servings, also due July 29, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB SN002-2027 for over 200 fresh produce line items with bids due June 26, 2026; and Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Wisconsin. The code's practical utility for targeting fresh produce opportunities is low given the mismatch between its specialty designation and the actual institutional food-service buying occurring under it.
