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) does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. The sourced opportunities instead show school districts and county government bodies procuring fresh produce, bananas, fruit and vegetable snacks, and comprehensive food service operations—none of which reference olives or olive products. The North Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park and Sun N Fun Water Park (response due March 6, 2025), and Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce proposals solicitation on August 7, 2026 for fresh fruits and vegetables delivery during 2026–2027 (due August 21, 2026). Madison Metropolitan School District requested bids under RFB 4162 for petite bananas in July 2026 (due July 29) and under RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison (also due July 29, contingent on USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grant approval).

School districts in Georgia and Wisconsin dominate recent activity. Hancock County Board of Education posted an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty fruits (response due June 26, 2026); Bartow County School System requested proposals for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026); and Early County Board of Education bid food and non-food products for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs (due June 8, 2026). The State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026). The code shows no recent opportunities specifically for Non GMO picholine olives or other olive products at the state or local level, suggesting minimal current procurement activity under this commodity specification.
