UNSPSC 50317200: Organic olives

The type of organic fruit known as organic olive

UNSPSC 50317200 Organic olives is a Class code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually purchasing under this taxonomy entry. Recent solicitations tagged to this code cover broad food service procurement for schools, state institutions, correctional facilities, and municipal programs—principally groceries, prepared foods, and food service supplies for cafeterias and nutrition programs—rather than olive products specifically. The issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions, state departments of education through county and independent school districts, city purchasing departments, and special-purpose authorities like Invest Atlanta. School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with multiple Georgia school districts (Tattnall County, Candler County, Colquitt County, Effingham County, and Richmond County Boards of Education) and Texas entities (Bridgeport Board of Education, City of Edinburg for CACFP services) posting bids for comprehensive food and supply packages. State-level institutional food service also appears regularly: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for food service to state supported living centers and state hospitals, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procures cafeteria products through the Comptroller's office.

The geographic footprint centers on Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Connecticut (Bridgeport) and Oregon (Department of Administrative Services). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Administrative Services' pickle supply contract (RFQ S2910000018089, due October 13, 2026), which illustrates the code's disconnect from its nominal scope; the City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP food and nonfood procurement (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) covering beverages, paper goods, proteins, and janitorial supplies for 400 children daily; the Texas HHSC canteen and food service groceries bids for Mexia State Supported Living Center (IFBs HHS0017798 and HHS0017799, due August 25, 2026, with historical FY25 value around $160,500 to $158,000); and multiple school nutrition IFBs such as Candler County Board of Education (IFB due June 12, 2026) and Colquitt County School Nutrition (IFB due June 8, 2026), all requiring Buy American certification (51 percent U.S. agricultural content), HACCP compliance, and delivery to multiple school sites. Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP (PE66789NONST2027000000021, due August 6, 2026) seeks both retail grocery operators and food distributors for municipal markets in Priority Communities, representing a less common institutional food procurement model but underscoring municipal interest in food access and supply infrastructure.
