UNSPSC 50527228: Non GMO sevillano olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO sevillano 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 50527228 Non GMO sevillano olives (Commodity) does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this code. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve school nutrition procurement for fresh produce, bananas, fruits and vegetables, and eggs—not olives or olive products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the recent solicitations indicates this Commodity code shows little relevant activity aligned with its stated product line.

School districts, county boards of education, and independent school districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin are the primary issuing bodies active under the code label in the recent record.
