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, a Commodity code, does not reflect meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains seven recent opportunities across school districts, county governments, and health-care coalitions, but none solicits olives—GMO status notwithstanding. The opportunities instead cover general fresh produce (bananas, apples, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens), prepared fresh-fruit and vegetable snacks, and broad food-service categories. No vendor under this code appears in any of the state or local RFBs, RFPs, or ITNs posted between May and October 2026. The code's specificity to a single olive variety with non-GMO designation does not align with the commodity-level buying patterns visible in recent state and local procurement.

The geographic activity visible in the source spans Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Early County Schools, State of Georgia), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and Florida (Collier County), with Georgia dominating the recent RFB volume through school nutrition programs. Issued bodies are exclusively K–12 school districts, county school boards, and state procurement offices—all procuring fresh produce, prepared snacks, and food-service supplies on annual or multi-year contracts. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Schools' IFB for 200+ fresh-produce line items (due June 26, 2026), and Bartow County Schools' RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026). No posted opportunity names non-GMO olives or any olive product. Pursue this code only if your firm holds active relationships with Georgia school districts or regional produce distributors already winning broader fresh-produce contracts; the code itself shows no current demand signal.
