UNSPSC 50537222: Dried non GMO nicoise olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO nicoise 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 50537222 Dried non GMO nicoise olives is a Commodity code that sits at the narrowest tier of the taxonomy. State and local governments buy this product primarily as part of broader food-service and nutrition procurement — the code captures a single product line within much larger grocery, fresh produce, and institutional meal contracts. Recent solicitations show that dried nicoise olives appear as line items within school nutrition programs, institutional food-service operations, and state-supported facility meal provision, but the code itself does not generate standalone solicitations. Instead, buyers tag individual olive products within multi-hundred-item commodity bundles covering breakfast items, condiments, produce, proteins, and snacks all at once, or within specialized procurement like senior meal delivery or child nutrition summer food programs.

School districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county commissioners' offices solicit under this code as part of their food-service operations. Issuing bodies include the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the State of Georgia, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida). Recent activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with response due July 11, 2026.
