UNSPSC 50537220: Dried non GMO mission olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO mission 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 50537220 Dried non-GMO mission olives, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The single product line tagged with this code in the dataset reflects a narrow specialty food item, while actual purchasing under food procurement solicitations spanning school nutrition, senior meal services, and institutional food supply across multiple states encompasses broad grocery baskets, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared meals rather than dried olives as a line item or primary procurement driver.

Recent state and local food service solicitations—including those from Bridgeport Public Schools (Connecticut), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Bulloch County Schools (Georgia), Douglas County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Hancock County Schools (Mississippi), Pascagoula-Gautier Schools (Mississippi), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hillsborough County (Florida), and the City of Dallas—center on comprehensive grocery supply, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared meal delivery under IFB, RFP, and ITB structures. Buyers across school districts, state health agencies, and county governments issue these solicitations with Buy American compliance, HACCP food-safety certification, nutritional standards alignment, and multi-location delivery requirements. The code shows no recent market activity and does not align with the scope of goods state and local bodies are actively procuring in the food service category.
