UNSPSC 50527219: Non GMO marche olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO marche 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 50527219 Non-GMO marche olives (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's stated scope. The source records sixteen school district fresh produce solicitations posted between February and July 2026—encompassing RFPs, RFBs, IFBs, and ITBs from school nutrition programs in Wisconsin, Georgia, and Texas—but none names olives as a line item, GMO or otherwise. The documented produce categories span apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, melons, citrus, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty items such as strawberries and grapes, with estimated contract values ranging from $78,000 (Madison Metropolitan School District petite bananas RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) to $4.4 million (Douglas County School System cooperative procurement SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026). The code shows a material mismatch with actual state and local buying activity under this taxonomy classification.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix across documented opportunities, with repeat buyers including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), multiple Georgia school systems (Liberty County, Glynn County, Bulloch County, Hancock County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County as cooperative lead), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), and Austin Independent School District (Texas). Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Wisconsin and Florida. Recent opportunities emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP plan compliance, domestic-sourced or locally grown preferences (particularly within 200–400 miles), and integration with federal nutrition programs including the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program and National School Lunch Program. No recent solicitation records support procurement of marche olives—a product not mentioned in any of the sixteen documented state or local opportunities during this window.
