UNSPSC 50537204: Dried non GMO amphissa olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO amphissa olives that have been dried for preservation. 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 50537204 Dried non-GMO Amphissa olives is a Commodity code that captures a niche specialty food ingredient with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for this specific product; instead, the posted opportunities span broader grocery and produce procurement for school districts, county governments, and state agencies purchasing comprehensive food service inventories that may incidentally include olives or olive products as line items within larger meal-supply contracts.

The code does not appear to drive standalone purchasing activity at the state and local level. Recent solicitations from Bridgeport Public Schools (Connecticut), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), and various state health and human services agencies all categorize food procurement at the family or class level—grocery items, fresh produce, food supply and distribution—rather than at the commodity level of specific olive products. No issuing body has posted an RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB specifically requesting Amphissa olives or dried olives as a line item. The code shows no discernible recent state or local procurement volume or competitive opportunity.
