UNSPSC 50307226: Royal olives

The variety of olives known as royal olives

UNSPSC 50307226 Royal olives (Commodity) encompasses pickled vegetables and preserved fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs, state institutions, and municipal food service operations. Recent solicitations show that royal olives and related pickled products are acquired as components of broader food-service supply contracts rather than as standalone line items; the code's activity reflects demand driven by institutional meal programs serving children, residents of state-supported facilities, and incarcerated populations where nutrition compliance and specification adherence are mandatory.

State education agencies and school districts across Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut dominate recent procurement under related commodity codes, along with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and municipal child care food programs. The Oregon Department of Administrative Services posted a pickle supply IFB (S2910000018089, due October 13, 2026) requiring mandatory bidders' conference and site visit; the Tattnall County Board of Education solicited food products for School Year 2026-2027 (PE55089NONST2027000000002, due July 22, 2026); and the Texas HHSC issued multiple IFBs for supplemental and cafeteria food products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with historical values reaching $158,000 to $160,500 annually per location. Georgia school districts—including Candler County (PE55093NONST2026000000003), Colquitt County (PE55646NONST2027000000015), Effingham County (PE55693NONST2027000000032), and Richmond County (PE72110NONST2027000000059)—collectively represent the largest concentration of recent activity. All solicitations enforce Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent U.S. agricultural content), HACCP compliance, and nutritional standards aligned with USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program and National School Lunch Program regulations. Pricing is typically firm fixed with escalation clauses tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data, capped at 5 to 10 percent increases, and contract terms run one to two years with optional renewal periods contingent on vendor performance and available appropriations.
