UNSPSC 50547212: Frozen non GMO hondroelia olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO hondroelia 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 50547212 Frozen non GMO hondroelia olives is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable and fresh food products for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service operations. The recent opportunities under this code show state and local governments buying broadly across food categories—canned proteins, vegetables, fresh produce, dairy, grains, and prepared items—rather than the specific olive product the code nominally describes. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with the Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Bridgeport Board of Education all soliciting food contracts in the recent period; county social-service departments and state procurement offices also appear. The work involves competitive bidding on large volume food supply contracts, typically with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance requirements, HACCP food-safety plans, and delivery to central warehouses and school sites on weekly or as-needed schedules.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (berries, citrus, root vegetables, and specialty produce) with a June 26, 2026 due date for the 2026–27 school year. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote request (IWQ 140229) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items—peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables—with quotes due October 19, 2026 for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited bids on over 1,100 grocery line items for the school board's Food & Nutrition Services Department with a June 30, 2026 deadline, subject to federal nutrition standards and 51 percent domestic agricultural content requirements. Early County Board of Education requested bids on approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food supplies with a June 8, 2026 due date. The State of Georgia also posted a general food and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. Contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 with optional renewals, net 45 payment terms, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
