UNSPSC 50307605: Dried cured non-heat sterilized arauco olives

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

UNSPSC 50307605 Dried cured non-heat sterilized arauco olives is a Commodity code. State and local governments solicit under this code primarily through school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state food-service operations that source dried and canned produce for bulk meal preparation. The recent opportunity block shows minimal direct solicitation for arauco olives specifically; instead, state and local buyers are posting broad food-commodity RFPs and IFBs that encompass produce categories ranging across dried fruits, canned vegetables, and fresh items as line items within larger nutrition-supply contracts.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix — Hancock County Schools (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) are the most visible recent buyers — followed by state corrections agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice) and state food-service operations. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, acting on behalf of TDCJ, posted IFB No. 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products with response due May 4, 2026; TDCJ also issued Bid No. IW236532 for whole, pitted, dried prunes meeting U.S. Grade B specifications in February 2026. Hancock County Schools posted IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce in June 2026 (due June 26), and Bridgeport posted a commodities RFB covering 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products with the same June 26, 2026 deadline. All school-district solicitations impose Buy American requirements of at least 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content for processed products. The code shows activity concentrated in Texas (state corrections), Georgia (school nutrition), and Connecticut (municipal school food), with geographic spread limited to the recent opportunities available. The narrow presence of arauco olives specifically — as opposed to general dried-fruit and produce categories — suggests this Commodity code captures a specialized line item within larger produce-commodity buys rather than a standalone procurement driver.
