UNSPSC 50527223: Non GMO nyons olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO nyons 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 50527223 Non-GMO nylon olives (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the code's intended scope. The most recent solicitations tagged under this code overwhelmingly solicit fresh produce for school nutrition programs—bananas, apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits—rather than nylon olives or preserved olive products. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin issued RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000, and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison (due July 29, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 fresh produce line items spanning apples, berries, vegetables, melons, and citrus (bids due June 26, 2026). The code shows no evidence of recent nylon olive procurement activity at the state or local level.

School districts across Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida dominate recent solicitation volume under this code designation, with Glynn County, Liberty County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County, and others issuing RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce contracts. Bartow County Schools in Georgia and Austin Independent School District in Texas both solicited local fresh fruit and vegetables with geographic sourcing preferences (RFP 10-2026-019 due June 22, 2026, and RFP 26RFP034 due March 11, 2026, respectively). The Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined (proposal deadline March 4, 2026). The code taxonomy appears misaligned with actual procurement practice; vendors evaluating this code should verify the specific commodity description with issuing offices before pursuing opportunities, as the UNSPSC label does not match the work state and local agencies are actively buying.
