UNSPSC 50307224: Picholine olives

The variety of olives known as picholine olives

UNSPSC 50307224 Picholine olives, a Commodity code, covers specialty food items purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service operations, though recent solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity for olives specifically. Instead, state and local procurement offices tag broader food-service solicitations with produce and specialty-item codes, and the recent opportunities block reflects this pattern: most activity clusters around school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and health and human services institutions seeking comprehensive food supply contracts that span proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and specialty condiments rather than individual olive line items. When olives or similar preserved vegetables do appear, they arrive as subordinate line items within larger multi-category food bids rather than standalone solicitations.

Activity under codes in this family concentrates among Georgia school districts (Tattnall County Board of Education, Candler County Board of Education, Colquitt County Board of Education, Effingham County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, Lamar County School District, and Douglas County School System), Texas state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, City of Edinburg), and Oregon correctional institutions (Oregon Department of Corrections). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and Invest Atlanta also issued recent solicitations covering food procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the Tattnall County Board of Education sealed-bid IFB for School Nutrition Program food products (due July 22, 2026), the Houston County School District ITB 27-001 for direct-delivery food, paper, and chemicals (due April 17, 2026, with an estimated $14 million annual value), and the Texas HHSC/DSHS IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (maximum potential value $4,500,000 over three years, contract term extending through August 31, 2028 with extension options). School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with smaller volumes from state corrections and health agencies. Geographic concentration skews heavily toward Georgia and Texas; Oregon Department of Corrections and Connecticut municipalities represent the long tail. Businesses pursuing this code should prioritize school district cooperative purchasing vehicles, pre-bid conferences, and multi-category food-service capabilities rather than mono-product positioning.
