UNSPSC 50307603: Dried cured non-heat sterilized alphonso olives

The variety of olives known as alphonso olives that have been dried cured non-heat sterilized for preservation.

UNSPSC 50307603 Dried cured non-heat sterilized alphonso olives is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of dried fruits, nuts, and specialty produce items to support school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and other institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations under this code show school districts and correctional systems buying dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mixes), nuts (walnuts, pecans), and fresh produce staples (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables) across multi-hundred-line-item contracts, though the alphonso olive specification itself does not appear in the recent opportunities reviewed. Issuing bodies include county and municipal school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia), state departments (State of Georgia Food Supplies procurement, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), city nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and county correctional systems (Santa Clara County Sheriff Department of Correction). These entities solicit through IFBs and RFPs with response dates ranging from February through June 2026, commonly requiring Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP plans, firm fixed pricing for 12-month contract periods, and delivery to multiple school sites or facility locations.

Geographically, recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Douglas County, Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County school systems), Texas (TDCJ), the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast (Fairfax County Virginia, Bridgeport Connecticut, St. Louis County Missouri), and California (Santa Clara County). Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) requesting over 200 fresh produce line items for delivery to three school locations; City of Bridgeport requesting bids for commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, fruit and vegetable products for its Board of Education Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026); Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One (RFP due March 4, 2026); County of Santa Clara ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts for the Elmwood Correctional Facility (due February 5, 2026); and Texas TDCJ IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items for delivery to six distribution points (due May 4, 2026). The code sees steady K-12 school nutrition activity with annual contract cycles tied to school-year procurement calendars (July 1 through June 30 terms predominate), plus periodic correctional and institutional food service demand.
