UNSPSC 50537230: Dried non GMO toscanelle olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO toscanelle 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 50537230 Dried non GMO toscanelle olives (Commodity) rarely appears as a standalone line item in recent state and local solicitations; instead, this code sits within much broader food-service procurement activity where school districts, county governments, and state agencies source general grocery and fresh-produce inventory for child nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. The recent opportunities supporting this code span school lunch programs, state-supported living facilities, congregate senior dining, and summer food service programs that procure hundreds of line items across breakfast items, produce, dairy, snacks, and specialty ingredients — with the specific olive variety embedded among broader commodity categories rather than solicited as a discrete product.

Activity concentrates in school districts and state health agencies across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, with the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases posting an RFQ for over 1,100 grocery line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (due June 30, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission seeking food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education issuing an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posting an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years (due June 25, 2026), and the State of Georgia requesting bids on food supplies and kitchen products (due June 22, 2026). The Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi solicited packaged meal boxes for the Summer Food Service Program (due April 29, 2026). All child-nutrition procurements enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content, compliance with USDA and CFR standards, and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition requirements, with firm fixed pricing and monthly or annual contract terms.
