UNSPSC 50307236: Gordal olive

Also known as the "queen olive", the gordal is large, generously-proportioned olive from Andalucia. It has a mild, classic green olive flavor, similar to the ever-popular manzanilla, and a nice meaty texture. Its large size makes it perfect for stuffing: pickled garlic, onion, an anchovy, a slice of roasted pepper, a scoop of soft blue cheese... the only limit is your imagination.

UNSPSC 50307236 Gordal olive is a Commodity code representing specialty produce items that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows minimal direct relevance to gordal olives specifically. Instead, the most recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect broad food procurement across school nutrition programs, state agencies, and municipal operations in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Connecticut. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Tattnall County, Candler County, Colquitt County, Dougherty County, Effingham County, Richmond County, Lamar County, and Houston County boards of education conducting sealed-bid invitations for food products; other issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Bridgeport Board of Education, Invest Atlanta, and the City of Edinburg. These jurisdictions are sourcing comprehensive food portfolios—proteins, dairy, produce, grains, frozen items, paper goods, and consumables—rather than specialty items like gordal olives.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, where the majority of school district procurements are posted, with secondary activity in Oregon (state corrections procurement) and Connecticut (municipal school board). Recent representative opportunities include the Candler County Board of Education's sealed-bid food procurement for School Year 2027 due June 12, 2026; the Colquitt County School Nutrition System's dual-vendor IFB for food and paper goods due June 8, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's statewide supplemental food procurement for state hospitals with a bid deadline of March 19, 2026 and a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million; the Bridgeport Board of Education's sealed-bid grocery-items procurement due June 30, 2026, covering over 1,100 line items with Buy American compliance; and the Houston County School District's dual ITBs for direct delivery (April 17, 2026) and warehouse delivery (April 16, 2026) with an estimated annual procurement value of $14 million. The code shows little activity specifically aligned to gordal olives or specialty imported produce; it appears to capture miscellaneous institutional food sourcing rather than a discrete product line.
