UNSPSC 50547221: Frozen non GMO nafplion green olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO nafplion green 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 50547221 Frozen non GMO Nafplion green olives, a Commodity code, nominally addresses a single product line but in practice state and local governments solicit frozen and shelf-stable food items across a broader spectrum through this taxonomy — school lunch programs, senior nutrition services, and institutional food distribution. The recent opportunities block shows that state and local buyers tag complex multi-item food solicitations (100+ to 1,100+ line items spanning proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy, and condiments) under codes in this family when the core solicitation involves food procurement for institutional consumption. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with the Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, and Early County Board of Education all posting in the past six months; county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County) and state-level agencies (State of Georgia) also buy under this code. The work solicited is not limited to olives or even frozen vegetables — it encompasses fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables), proteins (meats, poultry, seafood, canned items), dairy, grains, condiments, and non-food supplies (packaging, cleaning products, janitorial equipment) supporting National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance, senior nutrition services, and general institutional food service.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year in an IFB due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items and three delivery locations. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) issued an informal written quote request in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, canned vegetables) for senior services, due October 19, 2026, with delivery required by December 7, 2026 to a single facility. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) solicited over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department in a June 2026 IFB with Buy American Provision requirements (51% domestic agricultural ingredients), nutrition standards compliance, and nut-free specifications; the contract ran July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a June 2026 line-by-line bid for approximately 300+ food items plus 60+ non-food and paper supplies across three schools for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with options to extend. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products bid in May 2026 due June 22, 2026, with full scope contained in an attached solicitation document.
