UNSPSC 50307227: Seracena olives

The variety of olives known as seracena olives

UNSPSC 50307227 Seracena olives is a Commodity code that maps poorly to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a specific olive variety, but the recent opportunities sourced under this code are actually broad food-service grocery solicitations spanning proteins, dairy, produce, grains, condiments, and prepared items—not olives or olive products. The Oregon Department of Administrative Services posted a pickle supply contract (RFP S2910000018089, due October 13, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs for food service groceries to state supported living centers and hospitals (HHS0017799 and HHS0017798, due August 25, 2026), but neither reflects a focused market for seracena olives or any olive-specific procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited—general grocery supply for institutional food service—suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement system or abandonment of this code for its stated purpose.

Activity under this code is geographically dispersed across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, and other states, driven primarily by school nutrition programs (Tattnall County Board of Education, Candler County Board of Education, Colquitt County School Nutrition, Effingham County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education) and state health and human services agencies procuring for institutional meals. State and local issuing bodies include school boards, state health and human services commissions, and municipal food-service programs. However, because the recent opportunities do not reflect seracena olive procurement and the code shows no clear alignment with what is actually being bought, vendors evaluating this code should verify their product fit against the actual institutional food-service scope rather than the code's literal name. No recent opportunities specifically name olives or olive products.
