UNSPSC 50537219: Dried non GMO marche olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO marche 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 50537219 Dried non GMO marche olives is a Commodity code that does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The source contains no opportunities actually soliciting dried olives or marche olives specifically; instead, the code has been assigned to a diverse portfolio of school nutrition, senior meal service, and institutional food supply solicitations spanning fresh produce, comprehensive grocery items, and meal preparation services. This mismatch between the code name and the actual work being procured signals a data quality issue in the state and local taxonomy application rather than a live market for the named commodity.

State and local governments are actively procuring food supply and related services under this code identifier, with issuing bodies including school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), county health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), and municipal departments (City of Dallas). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's IFB for grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program due June 30, 2026, covering over 1,100 line items with firm pricing through June 30, 2027 and delivery to central warehouse and school sites; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with estimated historical spend of $1.5 million annually; the Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens due April 27, 2026; Meriden Public Schools' RFP for commercial and USDA Foods with anticipated contract value of approximately $3.1 million for 2026-2027 and proposals due February 25, 2026; and the Douglas County School System RFPs for fresh produce and eggs (estimated $5.5 million combined across two geographic areas, sealed proposals due March 4, 2026) and food supply and distribution services (estimated $9 million annually, sealed proposals due February 18, 2026). The majority of activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, and Florida, with most contracts running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and subject to Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content, HACCP food safety plans, and compliance with federal nutrition standards including the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act.
