UNSPSC 50307817: Dried cured non-heat sterilized organic lugano olives

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

UNSPSC 50307817 Dried cured non-heat sterilized organic lugano olives is a Commodity code that nominally specifies a single produce line item, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with that description. The most recent solicitations under the code actually procure broad-spectrum fresh and processed food products for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, spanning produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus), proteins (beef, poultry, fish), dairy, grains, and prepared entrees. The issuing bodies include county school boards, city education departments, state procurement offices, and state correctional agencies. Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content in processed products appear standard across school-based solicitations. Delivery requirements typically mandate firm fixed pricing for the contract term, with transportation included, and compliance with HACCP plans, USDA grade standards, and FDA regulations.

The geographic spread covers Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with activity concentrated among state-level procurement divisions and school districts. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing an IFB for fresh produce delivery to three school sites with a June 26, 2026 response deadline; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) seeking commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division) issuing IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five Texas geographic areas with an extended deadline of May 4, 2026; and TDCJ's earlier Bid IW236532 for dried prunes with a February 20, 2026 deadline. The code shows little recent activity genuinely aligned to dried cured olives as a specialty commodity—the tagging appears to reflect broader food-supply categorization rather than a targeted market for this specific produce item.
