UNSPSC 50307627: Dried cured non-heat sterilized seracena olives

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

UNSPSC 50307627, Dried cured non-heat sterilized seracena olives, is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a broad range of food products for institutional meal service rather than the narrow olive category its name suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily school districts and correctional agencies procuring fresh produce, prepared foods, dairy, proteins, and specialty items for cafeteria operations. Hancock County Schools (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice all posted opportunities between May and June 2026 requesting bids on multi-hundred-line-item food baskets spanning fresh apples, berries, vegetables, frozen entrees, cheese, beef, poultry, and miscellaneous staples. These solicitations are issued as IFBs with firm fixed pricing and Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic content for processed products. Vendors must provide HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, product certifications, and maintain commercial general liability insurance; delivery is typically FOB Destination to multiple school or warehouse locations on firm fixed-price schedules running one to three years.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce delivery to three school sites with responses due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport sought commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruit and vegetable products for its Nutrition Center with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026 through the OpenGov e-procurement portal and MBE/CBE certifications applicable. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation due June 22, 2026 with detailed scope in an attached PDF. The Texas Comptroller, procuring for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued an extended IFB for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas with response due May 4, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid conference held March 26, 2026; the initial contract term runs through August 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals, and a 1.5 percent Texas SmartBuy administrative fee applies. An earlier TDCJ solicitation (Bid No. IW236532) for whole pitted dried prunes showed a February 20, 2026 closing date with 1,400 boxes minimum for Corpus Christi location delivery, illustrating the code's reach into specialty dried products for correctional food service.
