UNSPSC 50527216: Non GMO lucque olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO lucque 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 50527216 Non GMO lucque olives (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The single opportunity block contains sixteen recent solicitations from school districts and one state agency, but only one references olives by name—Madison Metropolitan School District's petite banana RFB—and that solicitation is explicitly for fresh bananas, not olives. The remaining opportunities span fresh produce (fruit and vegetables), eggs, and comprehensive school nutrition food service contracts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida jurisdictions, with no mention of specialty olive procurement. The code appears to be a narrow commodity classification that state and local procurement offices rarely deploy, or the recent opportunities in the dataset have been incorrectly tagged to this code despite their focus on broader fresh produce categories.

School districts and school nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent solicitations from Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System across Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida. The State of Georgia also posted one food-supplies procurement. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (the majority of recent district-level bids) and extends to Texas and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (72 line items, due June 26, 2026) and Liberty County Board of Education's paired IFBs for produce and comprehensive food products (both due April 29, 2026), but none of these solicitations target olives or specialty preserved items as a primary scope—they are broad institutional fresh-produce and food-service contracts where olives, if procured at all, would be incidental. Buyers pursuing this code should verify current demand signals with state and local nutrition directors before committing resources, as the recent record suggests limited targeted activity for this specific commodity.
