UNSPSC 50307235: Alorena olive

The alorena Olive is a variety of table olive native to the Valley of Guadalhorce where it is grown. The fruit is egg-shaped, similar to an apple in shape and color, it is like a small apple and for this reason many calls it 'mini apple'. The hole where the stem is attached to the fruit is circular, deep and large.

UNSPSC 50307235 Alorena olive is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement shows little activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span school nutrition programs, state-facility food service, municipal food distribution, and institutional cafeteria procurement — covering broad grocery and food-service supplies rather than specialized olive products. The Oregon Department of Administrative Services solicitation (S2910000018089) nominally titled "Pickles" suggests misclassification or scope drift; the remaining opportunities address mainstream food-service categories (proteins, dairy, produce, frozen items, beverages, and consumables) that fall outside the Alorena olive commodity definition.

State and local issuing bodies engaging with this code include school districts (Tattnall County, Candler County, Colquitt County, Effingham County, and Richmond County in Georgia; Bridgeport in Connecticut), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, serving state supported living centers and state hospitals statewide), state departments of criminal justice (Texas TDCJ), independent city procurement offices (Bridgeport, Edinburg, Atlanta), and municipal development authorities (Invest Atlanta). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Oregon, with school nutrition program bids representing the densest recent cluster. Representative solicitations include the City of Edinburg RFP 2026-017 (CACFP meal program, due August 4, 2026), Texas HHSC IFBs HHS0017799 and HHS0017798 (food service and canteen groceries for Mexia State Supported Living Center, due August 25, 2026), Colquitt County IFB SY26-27 (school nutrition food and paper, due June 8, 2026), and Texas TDCJ IFB 304T-26-300CF (cafeteria food products, due May 4, 2026). The code does not reflect recent procurement of actual Alorena olive products; the alignment between code and opportunity scope appears circumstantial rather than substantive.
