UNSPSC 50547202: Frozen non GMO aleppo olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO aleppo olives that have been frozen 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 50547202 Frozen non-GMO Aleppo olives is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The source contains nine recent school-nutrition and food-service solicitations from state and local education agencies, but none specifically identify Aleppo olives or frozen olives as line items. The opportunities instead span broad grocery procurement (over 1,100 line items in the Bridgeport Board of Education solicitation), fresh produce contracts (72 items in Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools), and comprehensive food-service distribution (32,000 meals daily for Douglas County Schools). When recent solicitations do list frozen products, the focus is on common staples—frozen vegetables, entrees, and institutional food-service items—rather than specialty olive products. The code's actual purchasing activity under state and local procurement appears dormant or so specialized that it does not surface in available notice databases.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing bodies in the source material, with Georgia jurisdictions (Hancock County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, Decatur, and Early County schools) appearing most frequently. Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Georgia's state procurement office also appear. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for grocery items due June 30, 2026 (BNB052266), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB due June 26, 2026 (PE67080NONST2027000000013), and Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution due February 18, 2026 (DCSDSN26-003, approximately $9 million annual expenditure). All contracts run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 or align with the standard school-year cycle. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP compliance, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, and delivery to multiple school sites are standard terms across these opportunities. However, no solicitation identified in the source specifically names Aleppo olives, frozen olives, or specialty olive products as procurement needs.
