UNSPSC 50527215: Non GMO ligurian olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO ligurian 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 50527215 Non GMO Ligurian olives is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce supply to state and local food service operations, primarily school districts and county parks departments. The recent solicitations tagged to this code reveal that state and local buyers are sourcing fresh fruits and vegetables—including bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, and specialty produce—for school lunch programs, county recreation facilities, and health care coalition operations. The code sits within a broader ecosystem of fresh produce procurement where issuing bodies prioritize food safety compliance (HACCP plans, traceability by farm of origin, E-Verify verification), seasonal variety, local and domestic sourcing preferences, and competitive unit pricing. School districts dominate the issuing body mix; Hancock County Board of Education, Madison Metropolitan School District, Bartow County School System, and Early County Board of Education have all posted recent solicitations. County parks and health care coalitions also procure under the code, though less frequently in the available record.

The recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin, with secondary representation from Florida (Collier County) and broad geographic distribution across the southeastern and midwestern United States. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (Solicitation PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items for the 2026-27 school year with delivery to three school sites; Madison Metropolitan School District's petite bananas RFB (Solicitation 4162, due July 29, 2026) projecting annual contract value of $78,000 for weekly delivery of 70–90 cases; and Bartow County School System's local fresh fruit and vegetable RFP (Solicitation 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026) requiring sourcing within 400 miles and offering evaluation weight to seasonal variety and local availability.

Most school contracts run the full academic or fiscal year (July 1 through June 30 or September 1 through June 30) with monthly or weekly delivery schedules and firm pricing clauses.
