UNSPSC 50527221: Non GMO nafplion green olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO nafplion green 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 50527221 Non GMO nafplion green olives is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it do not reflect the code's nominal scope. The source block identifies seventeen school district and county education agency solicitations for fresh produce, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, prepared produce items, and ancillary food service supplies—bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, prepared salads, eggs, and beverages—but contains no solicitation for olives of any variety, let alone non-GMO nafplion green olives. The code's stated product line does not align with the work actually being solicited. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or that the code has been repurposed to capture broader fresh-produce procurement activity in school nutrition programs.

School districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida are the primary issuing bodies for recent activity, with no participation from state-level procurement offices or other issuing-body types visible in the recent-opportunities block. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District Food & Nutrition Department seeking petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4162 and RFB 4163, both due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia procuring fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); Glynn County Board of Education soliciting fresh produce for 16 school locations (IFB 27-02, due April 14, 2026); and Douglas County School System issuing an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs to serve 30 school districts across Georgia (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two). The geographic spread centers on Georgia, with significant activity in Texas (Austin and McAllen independent school districts) and Wisconsin (Madison); activity does not support a claim of concentration in any single state or region.
