UNSPSC 50547223: Frozen non GMO nyons olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO nyons 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 50547223 Frozen non GMO nylon olives is a Commodity code that names a highly specialized product line — frozen olives preserved without genetic modification in nylon packaging — yet state and local procurement records show minimal direct activity under this specific code. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting frozen non-GMO nylon olives. Instead, school districts and municipalities are procuring frozen and fresh produce items as part of broad grocery and food service contracts that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items (breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen vegetables, fruits, dairy, snack items, beverages, and prepared entrees) to support National School Lunch Programs and child nutrition services. When frozen vegetables or specialty frozen products appear in these solicitations, they are typically bundled within larger food supply RFPs, RFQs, or IFBs rather than procured as individual commodity lines. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education across the Southeast, particularly Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri, supplemented by state procurement offices and municipal food service departments.

Geographic concentration in recent activity spans Georgia (Douglas County School System, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Recent representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport BNB052266 for over 1,100 line items of grocery items across breakfast, frozen products, condiments, and meats with a firm fixed-price contract from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 (due June 30, 2026, IFB format); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce (200+ line items, due June 26, 2026); and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026). All school nutrition procurements mandate compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, 24/7 food recall accessibility, firm pricing throughout the contract term, and delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday. The specialized frozen non-GMO nylon olive product itself does not surface in these recent opportunities, suggesting either minimal demand under this specific commodity code or categorization misalignment between the code and actual procurement practice.
