UNSPSC 50307208: Cerignola olives

The variety of olives known as cerignola olives

UNSPSC 50307208 Cerignola olives, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product category that state and local governments rarely procure as a standalone item. The recent state-local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope; instead, they document solicitations for broad grocery and food-service supply contracts spanning produce, proteins, dairy, frozen goods, and consumables. The mismatch suggests either upstream classification error or incidental tagging when olives appear as a line item within larger food-service catalogs. What state and local governments actually buy under broader food procurement codes includes school meal program ingredients (proteins, dairy, produce, grains, paper goods), institutional cafeteria and living-center food supplies (prepared entrees, frozen vegetables, condiments, serviceware), child and adult care food program (CACFP) items, and fresh and frozen grocery items for state-supported facilities and correctional institutions. Issuing bodies span school nutrition programs (Tattnall County, Candler County, Colquitt County, Effingham County, and Richmond County school boards in Georgia; Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state living centers and hospitals), state departments (Oregon Department of Administrative Services; Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for the Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal agencies (City of Edinburg, Texas for CACFP; City of Bridgeport; Invest Atlanta for municipal market operations).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon, Connecticut, and Atlanta. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017799 (FY27 food service groceries for Mexia State Supported Living Center, bids due August 25, 2026) covering NIGP commodity codes 375, 385, 390, 393, 640, and 645 across prepared eggs, frozen vegetables, dairy, proteins, and disposables with a historical value of $158,000; Candler County Board of Education's sealed bid for food, paper, and chemical products (SY2027, bids due June 12, 2026) with hundreds of line items meeting Buy American Act requirements; and Colquitt County School Nutrition's sealed bid (SY26-27, bids due June 8, 2026) for approximately 450+ food items and 50+ paper products from top two responsive vendors. The code shows little recent activity specific to Cerignola olives or specialty olive products as standalone procurements.
