UNSPSC 50307724: Dried cured non-heat sterilized Non-GMO picholine olives

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

UNSPSC 50307724 Dried cured non-heat sterilized non-GMO picholine olives, a Commodity code, encompasses specialty produce items purchased by school districts and state corrections agencies to supply cafeteria and nutrition programs. The code captures discretionary specialty produce line items within broader fresh and processed food procurement—state and local purchasing offices tag individual commodity SKUs under this code when sourcing specific dried cured olive varieties for institutional food service operations. Recent opportunities show school nutrition programs and state corrections departments sourcing dried fruits, cured vegetables, and commodity food products alongside primary fresh produce and protein categories; picholine olives themselves appear rarely in posted solicitations, but the code sits within the broader institutional commodity food procurement landscape where school districts and state agencies consolidate dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and specialty produce in single IFB or RFQ cycles.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with school districts and state corrections agencies as the primary issuing bodies. The Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for fresh produce and specialty items for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026); the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases sought bids for commodities supplying the Board of Education Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026); the State of Georgia issued an RFQ for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, posted an IFB for cafeteria food products across five Texas geographic areas with delivery to multiple TDCJ warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026, after addendum extension). These opportunities typically enforce Buy American domestic-content minimums (51 percent for processed products) and require HACCP plans, USDA compliance, nutritional data, and vendor references. Award decisions favor lowest responsive and responsible bidders with the option to split awards across multiple vendors per line item or category.
