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 nominally addresses a single product line, yet recent state and local procurement activity shows the code tagged to broad food-service solicitations spanning hundreds of line items across fresh produce, packaged goods, and meal preparation. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Schools (Georgia), and Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi) have posted IFBs and sealed-bid solicitations for grocery items, fresh produce, and packaged meal boxes under school nutrition programs, while the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Hillsborough County (Florida) have solicited food and consumable products for state-supported living facilities and senior meal services. School districts and county government nutrition services appear to be the primary issuing bodies, with education-related child nutrition programs and aging-services meal delivery dominating recent activity.

The geographic spread spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, with no single state showing concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (response due June 30, 2026) subject to Buy American Provision requirements (51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients) and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards; the Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning multiple apple and berry varieties, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty produce across three school delivery sites (response due June 26, 2026, firm-fixed pricing); the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, based on prior-period historical value of $1.5 million); and Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services across 14 dining centers, seven senior centers, and four adult daycare centers (response due June 25, 2026, estimated three-year value $17,832,659.90, with offerors required to be Florida Department of Elderly Affairs Adult Care Food Program Caterers). The code shows little activity aligned to dried olives specifically; recent solicitations use the code to capture wholesale food procurement more broadly.
