UNSPSC 50317213: Organic kalamata olives

The variety of organic olives known as organic kalamata olives

UNSPSC 50317213 Organic kalamata olives is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of packaged condiments and specialty food items for institutional food service, though recent solicitations tagged with this code show minimal direct activity for olives specifically—instead revealing broad, multi-category food procurement spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods across school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and health and human services institutions. State and local buying under this code tier encompasses food items for child nutrition programs, school lunch and breakfast services, state hospital and supported living center meal provision, and institutional dining; the category sits within broader food commodity procurement that combines fresh, frozen, canned, and specialty items in single competitive solicitations organized by product type or supplier capability.

Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education across Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut, supplemented by state agencies including corrections departments and health and human services commissions, plus municipal entities such as cities and county school systems. Recent activity shows concentrated procurement from Georgia school districts (Tattnall, Colquitt, Candler, Effingham, Dougherty, Houston, Richmond, and Lamar Counties), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving state hospitals statewide, the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases and Edinburg, Texas supporting child nutrition programs, and the Oregon and Texas Departments of Corrections. Representative opportunities include the Tattnall County Board of Education's sealed-bid School Nutrition Program procurement (due July 22, 2026, IFB), the City of Edinburg Child and Adult Care Food Program RFP for beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial and nonfood supplies (due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference under Texas law), the Candler County Board of Education food, paper, and chemical bid for School Year 2027 (IFB, due June 12, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's statewide supplemental food and consumables procurement serving 23 facilities across Texas (IFB HHS0016792, due March 19, 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years). Geographic concentration centers on Georgia school districts, with secondary activity in Texas state agencies and corrections systems, plus isolated municipal activity in Connecticut and Oregon. Code shows steady baseline activity across institutional food service, though organic kalamata olives as a discrete commodity line item do not surface prominently in recent solicitations.
