UNSPSC 50307213: Kalamata olives

The variety of olives known as kalamata olives

UNSPSC 50307213 Kalamata olives, a Commodity code, addresses a niche product line that state and local governments procure primarily through broader food-service and nutrition-program solicitations rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for kalamata olives; instead, the code appears incidentally—if at all—within larger food-procurement vehicles serving school nutrition programs, state institutional food service, and municipal meal initiatives.

State and local procurement activity under related food-product codes is concentrated in Georgia school districts, Texas state agencies, and municipal nutrition programs. The issuing bodies include school boards (Tattnall County, Candler County, Colquitt County, Effingham County, and Richmond County in Georgia; Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC for state supported living centers and correctional facilities), and municipal departments (City of Edinburg for CACFP meal service, Invest Atlanta for grocery market operations). Representative recent solicitations include Tattnall County Board of Education's sealed-bid IFB for School Nutrition Program food products due July 22, 2026; Texas HHSC Procurement's IFB for food service groceries for Mexia State Supported Living Center due August 25, 2026; and the City of Bridgeport's bid for over 1,100 grocery-item line items supporting the National School Lunch Program due June 30, 2026. The code itself shows little standalone procurement signal; kalamata olives, when specified, appear as a component within large multi-category food baskets emphasizing proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and condiments rather than specialty olives. Geographic activity centers on Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Connecticut and Florida. Given the absence of direct kalamata-olive solicitations and the code's submersion within generic food-product RFPs and IFBs, this category represents low-priority pursuit unless your firm operates as a regional specialty-food distributor with an existing presence in school-district or institutional food-service supply chains.
