UNSPSC 50527222: Non GMO nicoise olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO nicoise 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 50527222 Non GMO nicoise olives is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely purchase olives directly under this specific code; the recent opportunities in the source show school districts, county parks, and health-care coalitions buying fresh produce in bulk, including general fresh fruits and vegetables for food service, but no specific requests for non-GMO nicoise olives. The source records show procurement for petite bananas (Madison Metropolitan School District), fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (Madison Metropolitan School District), mixed fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, and citrus (Hancock County Board of Education and Bartow County School System), and general produce for regional parks and food service operations (Collier County Board of County Commissioners and Marion Health Care Coalition). The code's narrow commodity focus contrasts with actual state and local procurement patterns, which tend toward broader produce categories and whole-fruit or mixed-vegetable line items rather than single specialty items.

Issuing bodies pursuing fresh produce across the recent opportunities include school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Early County, Bartow County), county governments (Collier County), and specialized health-care procurement coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), with school nutrition programs as the dominant buyer segment. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), with one Florida county procurement (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, with estimated annual contract value of $78,000 and weekly usage of 70–90 cases, and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items due June 26, 2026, covering the 2026-27 school year. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025, with a 10-point local-vendor preference. No recent opportunities explicitly solicit non-GMO nicoise olives, and the code shows little decision-relevant activity for vendors focused on this specific commodity.
