UNSPSC 50307200: Olives

The type of fruit known as olive

UNSPSC 50307200 Olives is a Class code that encompasses food procurement for institutional meal programs, school nutrition services, and state agency food distribution — a scope substantially broader than the code name alone suggests. State and local governments procuring under this code are actually buying comprehensive food supply contracts that span proteins, produce, dairy, grains, condiments, and consumable supplies to support child nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and school districts. The issuing bodies are predominantly school boards and school districts (Tattnall County Board of Education, Candler County Board of Education, Colquitt County School Nutrition, Effingham County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, Lamar County School District, Dougherty County Board of Education, Houston County School District, Douglas County School System), supplemented by state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), municipal government (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, City of Edinburg), and economic development authorities (Invest Atlanta). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with contracts typically spanning 300 to 1,100 line items across multiple product categories and serving daily meal volumes of 400 to 45,000 meals.

Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia, where school districts in Tattnall, Candler, Colquitt, Effingham, Richmond, Lamar, Dougherty, and Houston counties have all posted solicitations since January 2026, with additional recent activity in Texas (Edinburg, HHSC statewide), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and multi-state coverage through the Douglas County School System's GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts across Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Edinburg RFP2026017 (CACFP meal program, RFP due August 4, 2026, requiring beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items for 400 children), the Houston County School District ITB 27-001 (direct delivery food, paper, and chemicals supporting approximately 39 schools and 31,000 students, approximately $14 million annually, sealed bids due April 17, 2026), the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0016792 (supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide, 210 line items, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years, response deadline extended to March 19 or February 23 depending on amendment date), and the Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 (main-line food supply and distribution for 32,000 meals daily, approximately $9 million annually, sealed proposals due February 18, 2026).
