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 (Commodity) sits within a broader food-procurement taxonomy that state and local governments use to classify grocery and prepared-food solicitations, though recent opportunities tagged with this code show activity spanning fresh produce, prepared meals, and general grocery sourcing rather than dried olives specifically. State and local buyers—school districts, county and city purchasing departments, and state health and human services agencies—are soliciting food products for school nutrition programs under the National School Lunch Program, senior meal services, and institutional food service operations. The work involves meeting USDA Buy American requirements (typically 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products), complying with nutrition standards such as the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, submitting to blind product testing and HACCP documentation, maintaining cold-chain logistics with firm pricing over 12-month contract periods, and providing comprehensive product liability and general liability insurance. Vendors must integrate with school ordering systems (such as LINQ School Solutions), accept net-45 payment terms, and deliver on standard pallets with prepaid freight.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies.
