UNSPSC 50547215: Frozen non GMO ligurian olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO ligurian 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 50547215 Frozen non-GMO Ligurian olives is a Commodity code that captures specialty and shelf-stable food products purchased by state and local procurement offices for school nutrition programs, senior services, and municipal food procurement operations. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying broad food categories — fresh and frozen vegetables, proteins, grains, dairy, and condiments — under codes nominally specific to olives, reflecting how jurisdictions tag multi-item food contracts with narrow commodity codes despite the actual scope spanning hundreds of line items. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county departments (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), municipalities (City of Bridgeport), and state agencies (State of Georgia). The code sees activity from entities managing child nutrition programs under federal lunch and breakfast initiatives as well as senior services and general municipal food supply.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, with Gwinnett County, Hancock County, and Early County schools posting recent solicitations, and Connecticut representation through Bridgeport. Recent representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 (IWQ 140229, delivered to the Senior Services Center); Bridgeport Board of Education's electronic bid for over 1,100 line items of grocery products subject to Buy American provisions (51% domestic agricultural content) and National School Lunch Program compliance, due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Schools' sealed bid for fresh produce across 200+ line items with deliveries to three schools, due June 26, 2026; and Early County Schools' line-by-line food bid for 300+ food and 60+ non-food items supporting breakfast and lunch programs, due June 8, 2026. All solicitations specify firm pricing through contract term, delivery to school or municipal sites Monday through Friday within specified windows, and compliance with HACCP, E-Verify, and debarment verification.
