UNSPSC 50527224: Non GMO picholine olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO picholine 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 50527224 Non GMO picholine olives (Commodity) shows negligible recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its scope. The code nominal name specifies a single olive variety, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for olives of any type. Instead, the most recently posted state and local opportunities under this code tag fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs — bananas, apples, berries, vegetables, and mixed fresh fruit and vegetable snacks — work that falls outside the picholine olive commodity entirely. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how state and local procurement offices are tagging opportunities, or that the code itself sees so little relevant activity that unrelated produce solicitations dominate the dataset.

The opportunities that do appear under the code are school district and board-of-education RFBs, RFPs, and IFBs concentrated in Georgia and Texas, including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia serving a 30-district cooperative). These jurisdictions are procuring fresh produce for school nutrition and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs on annual contracts ranging from $78,000 (Madison Metropolitan, FY27) to estimated $4.4 million (Douglas County GEC cooperative, Area One). No activity targets non-GMO picholine olives specifically, and no recent opportunities support pursuit under this commodity code.
