UNSPSC 50307231: Gemlik olive

Gemlik Olive, also known as Tirilye, Curly, or Wrapping Paper is a black olive predominately grown in Turkey. This olive is a small to medium sized black olive with high oil content. This olive is traditionally served as a breakfast olive in several cured formats.

UNSPSC 50307231 Gemlik olive is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement opportunities in the source do not substantively track to olive products. The most recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect school nutrition programs, state institutional food service contracts, municipal grocery retail and distribution services, and child and adult care food programs—spanning breakfast cereals, frozen proteins, dairy, produce, condiments, paper goods, and janitorial supplies. The Oregon Department of Administrative Services posted a pickle supply contract (IFB S2910000018089, due October 13, 2026), which represents pickled vegetables rather than olives. The geographic and issuing-body activity across these opportunities spans Texas (state health and human services commissions and school districts), Georgia (school nutrition programs and state procurement), Connecticut (municipal school board), and Oregon (state purchasing), with school districts constituting the dominant buyer segment across the dataset.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food service groceries procurement for Mexia State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017799, due August 25, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Central Time, covering prepared eggs, frozen vegetables, dairy, proteins, and prepared entrees across NIGP commodity codes 375, 385, 390, 393, 640, and 645); the Tattnall County Board of Education's school nutrition food solicitation (IFB PE55089NONST2027000000002, due July 22, 2026, covering produce, proteins, dairy, and grains); and the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items procurement supporting the National School Lunch Program (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026, spanning over 1,100 line items across breakfast items, cereals, frozen products, dairy, meats, and condiments). The source shows no procurement activity substantively aligned with olives or Gemlik olive products; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests either tagging error or that state and local governments source olives—if at all—through broader commodity codes or cooperative purchasing vehicles not captured in this dataset.
