UNSPSC 50307606: Dried cured non-heat sterilized arbequina olives

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

UNSPSC 50307606 Dried cured non-heat sterilized arbequina olives (Commodity) does not reflect the actual products state and local governments are procuring under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show school districts and state agencies buying fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy products, grains, and dried fruits—not arbequina olives or olive products of any kind. Hancock County Schools in Georgia issued an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce including apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, and specialty fruits; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut solicited 115 line items of eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for its Board of Education Nutrition Center; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for approximately 382 line items spanning proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, and condiments across five geographic areas. The issuing bodies are school districts, state correctional agencies, and municipal departments of public purchases. The code appears to have been misapplied to these food-supply opportunities rather than used for its stated commodity scope.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas based on the recent postings, with the Georgia State Department issuing a separate food supplies solicitation in May 2026. The most recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) requiring delivery to three school locations from July 2026 through June 2027; the City of Bridgeport's IFB for commodities (due June 26, 2026) with delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center and contract term through June 30, 2027; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' IFB for cafeteria food products to TDCJ warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026, with contract term through August 31, 2027 and two optional one-year renewals); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's bid for dried prunes (due February 20, 2026). The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual goods being procured signals that this commodity code is not reliably tagged in state and local procurement systems or may not represent active market demand for arbequina olives specifically.
