UNSPSC 50307713: Dried cured non-heat sterilized Non-GMO kalamata olives

The variety of Non-GMO olives known as organic kalamata olives that have been dried cured non-heat sterilized for preservation.

UNSPSC 50307713 Dried cured non-heat sterilized Non-GMO kalamata olives is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of kalamata olives or comparable specialty preserved produce. Instead, state and local governments soliciting under this code are buying fresh produce, cafeteria food products, and dried fruits for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, and specialty items for the 2026–27 school year. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited 115 line items of commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procures cafeteria food products and dried fruits (including whole pitted prunes) across multiple warehouse locations. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state corrections departments, with administrative oversight from school nutrition and procurement offices, and federal Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic content for processed products apply across opportunities.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Connecticut) and Texas. Hancock County Schools posted an IFB due June 26, 2026, requiring delivery to three school sites in Sparta, Georgia, with sealed bids opened June 29, 2026. The City of Bridgeport posted an RFQ (BNB053266) due June 26, 2026, for delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center with electronic submission through OpenGov. The State of Georgia posted a food supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) due June 22, 2026, with scope details in an attached document. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, procuring on behalf of TDCJ, extended an IFB for cafeteria food products to May 4, 2026, spanning approximately 382 line items for delivery to six TDCJ distribution points, with an initial contract term through August 31, 2027, and two optional one-year renewals. A separate TDCJ procurement (IW236532) for whole pitted prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count size, had an amended due date of February 20, 2026. The code shows little direct relevance to kalamata olives; recent activity reflects broader commodity categories for institutional food service rather than specialty cured products.
