UNSPSC 50547209: Frozen non GMO cracked provencal olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO cracked provencal 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 50547209 Frozen non GMO cracked provencal olives is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity in the recent solicitations. The code's nominal scope—a single specialty olive product—appears disconnected from the broad food-service purchasing state and local governments are conducting under related codes. The recent opportunities in this dataset show school districts, county departments, and state agencies procuring shelf-stable and fresh food items in bulk for nutrition programs, cafeterias, and community services, spanning canned proteins, fresh produce, dairy, meats, and kitchen supplies—none of which is cracked provencal olives. The issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County, Early County), a city school board (Bridgeport), a county community services department (Gwinnett County), and the State of Georgia.

Opportunities are concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce across over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 IFB deadline; Early County Board of Education requested 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies with a June 8, 2026 bid deadline; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners used an informal written quote (IWQ) process for 35 line items of shelf-stable food with a due date of October 19, 2026; and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases sought grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program with a June 30, 2026 electronic-bid deadline. This code shows little relevant recent activity—the mismatch between the code's specialty product scope and the general food-service purchasing activity underlying these solicitations suggests the opportunities may be tagged inaccurately or the code itself is rarely used in state and local procurement.
