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 state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs, institutional food service operations, and municipal food distribution initiatives. The recent opportunities show minimal direct procurement of alorena olives as a standalone commodity; instead, the code appears in a broader sourcing context where state and local buyers are issuing solicitations for comprehensive food supply contracts that may include olives and olive products among hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and prepared foods. The actual buying activity under this code reflects school districts, state agencies, and municipalities seeking suppliers capable of providing complete food baskets meeting USDA nutrition standards, Buy American Act compliance, and Child Nutrition program requirements rather than specialty olive sourcing alone.

Georgia school districts dominate recent activity, with the Tattnall County Board of Education, Colquitt County School Nutrition, Candler County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, Effingham County Board of Education, Lamar County School District, Houston County School District, and Douglas County School System all posting solicitations between January and July 2026 for school nutrition food procurement. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued statewide institutional food service bids in February and May 2026 covering supplemental foods for state hospitals and correction facilities. A municipal food distribution RFP from Invest Atlanta in July 2026 sought category-specific food distributors with minimum five years' experience and FSMA compliance. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education issued a grocery procurement in June 2026 with over 1,100 line items, and the City of Edinburg, Texas posted a Child and Adult Care Food Program RFP in July 2026 requiring daily delivery to 400 children. Solicitation types include Invitations for Bid (IFB), Requests for Quotation (RFQ), and Requests for Proposal (RFP), with response dates clustered between March and August 2026. The geographic concentration spans Georgia (twelve active school districts and the state procurement office), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, cities of Bridgeport and Edinburg), and Oregon (Department of Corrections pickle and relish procurement). No recent opportunities name alorena olives specifically or in sufficient volume to signal dedicated sourcing; the commodity code appears incidental to much larger food service aggregations where olive products are subsumed within broader vegetable, condiment, or specialty food categories. This code currently shows limited standalone procurement momentum at the state and local level.
