UNSPSC 50307239: Nocellara olives

The Nocellara olives, also known as Castelvetrano olives, are native of the Trapani province in Sicily. The growing area is located between the towns of Castelvetrano, Campobello di Mazara and Partanna.

UNSPSC 50307239 Nocellara olives (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific olive cultivar—appears misaligned with actual solicitation practice. Recent opportunities tagged under or near this code span broad food procurement for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and municipal grocery operations, none of which reference Nocellara olives or any olive products by name. School districts across Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut are soliciting fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods under overlapping UNSPSC classifications, but the Nocellara olive specification does not surface in any recent bid or RFP. State agencies and the Oregon Department of Corrections are procuring pickle relish, fresh pickles, and supplemental foods, similarly without mention of Nocellara olives.

The broader context suggests that state and local procurement uses UNSPSC codes at the Family or Class tier for produce and food categories rather than pinpointing individual commodity varieties. The most active issuers—Georgia school boards (Tattnall, Effingham, Lamar, Dougherty, Colquitt counties and Richmond County), the Douglas County School System, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission—source through broad food service RFQs, IFBs, and RFPs, where vendors compete across multiple line items and produce types. If Nocellara olives have any procurement presence, it would be as a line item in a larger grocery or specialty-foods solicitation rather than as a standalone commodity trigger. No recent opportunity explicitly names this olive variety or signals upcoming demand. Prospective vendors should verify whether the Nocellara code maps to actual state or local purchasing patterns before allocating pursuit resources to this narrow specification.
