UNSPSC 50527220: Non GMO mission olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO mission 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 50527220 Non-GMO mission olives is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The source provided includes no recent state or local procurements for mission olives; all recent opportunities posted under this code tag concern fresh produce for school nutrition programs, with solicitations covering fresh fruits (bananas, apples, berries), vegetables (broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes), and eggs—categories plainly unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the issuing systems or that this code has been repurposed by state procurement offices in a manner that diverges substantially from its definition.

School nutrition departments across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida are the dominant issuing bodies soliciting under this code tag, with recent RFPs and IFBs from Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System. Typical solicitations request weekly or periodic deliveries of fresh produce to multiple school sites under fixed-price or cost-plus contracts running July 1 through June 30 of the following year, with estimated annual values ranging from $78,000 (Madison MMSD petite bananas, due July 29, 2026) to $4.4 million (Douglas County GEC Buying Cooperative produce and eggs cooperative, due March 4, 2026). All contracts emphasize HACCP plans, Buy American compliance, USDA compliance, traceability documentation, liability insurance, and E-Verify authorization. If pursuing activity under this code, verify the actual UNSPSC classification of your product line before investing in response preparation, as the current tagging appears inconsistent with the code definition.
