UNSPSC 50307609: Dried cured non-heat sterilized cracked provencal olives

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

UNSPSC 50307609 Dried cured non-heat sterilized cracked provencal olives, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity; the solicitations tagged under this code actually request fresh produce and assorted food staples for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, bearing no relationship to the specialty olive product the code nominally describes. School districts and state corrections agencies are the primary issuing bodies, with recent opportunities spanning fresh produce buys (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus), protein and dairy staples (beef, chicken, cheese), and dried fruits (prunes), none of which align with preserved or specialty olive products. The mismatch between the code's narrow scope and the actual commodities being solicited suggests the code is either misapplied by procurement offices or receives no demand for its intended product category.

Recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requesting bids for 115 food commodity line items for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing an IFB for approximately 382 cafeteria food items with a response deadline extended to May 4, 2026; and TDCJ issuing a separate bid for whole pitted dried prunes with a due date of February 20, 2026. All solicitations enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content, and most require HACCP plans, vendor certifications, product formulation statements, and commercial general liability insurance. Geographic concentration appears in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut, with no recent opportunities indicating genuine demand for cured or cracked olives under this code.
