UNSPSC 50307814: Dried cured non-heat sterilized organic kura olives

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

UNSPSC 50307814 Dried cured non-heat sterilized organic kura olives, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities tagged with this code are overwhelmingly school nutrition and correctional-facility food service solicitations, encompassing fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and staple foods — but dried cured organic kura olives do not appear in any of the detailed line-item specifications posted during the past four months. The issuing bodies are school districts, city education procurement offices, and state correctional authorities seeking to supply cafeteria and nutrition centers with broad commodity food baskets under federal Buy American provisions and state-level set-aside programs, primarily MBE/CBE certifications where applicable.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce across 200-plus line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty items, with delivery to three school sites. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB on June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for 115 commodity line items (eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, produce) to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center under MBE/CBE certification requirements. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, acting for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, posted an Invitation for Bid (IFB) on May 4, 2026, due May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum to May 4, 2026), for approximately 382 cafeteria food line items across five geographic areas, with firm fixed pricing and two optional renewal periods through August 31, 2029. The code shows no recent solicitations explicitly seeking dried cured olives or specialty preserved produce items, suggesting the code classification does not reflect the actual procurement focus of state and local food-service buying.
