UNSPSC 50527227: Non GMO seracena olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO seracena 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 50527227 Non-GMO Seracena Olives is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely procure this product, and the recent solicitation activity under this code shows no alignment with the code's nominal scope. The code's title references non-GMO Seracena olives specifically, yet the most recent state and local contract opportunities in the dataset are overwhelmingly for fresh produce procurement by school districts—bananas, fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, and produce for school nutrition programs. A single opportunity posted by Madison Metropolitan School District on July 8, 2026 (RFB 4162) solicited petite bananas due July 29, 2026 at $78,000 estimated annual value, but this represents bananas, not olives. The mismatch between the code designation and actual procurement activity suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities are tagged or that this specific commodity code is not actively used by state and local purchasing offices.

School districts dominate the recent solicitation activity for fresh produce generally, including Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) via the GEC Buying Cooperative. Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, with activity also in Florida and Texas. No recent state-level or county-level solicitations for non-GMO olives appear in the dataset; the code shows little decision-relevant recent activity for business development purposes.
