UNSPSC 50317216: Organic lucque olives

The variety of organic olives known as organic lucque olives

UNSPSC 50317216 Organic lucque olives, a Commodity code, does not reflect current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span food service provisioning across school districts, corrections facilities, and child nutrition programs, but organic lucque olives appear in none of them. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact; the actual solicitations cover broad food product procurement—fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, snacks, and consumables—for institutional meal programs rather than a single specialty olive variety.

State and local food service procurement is dominated by school nutrition programs, with secondary activity from state agencies (corrections, health services), municipal agencies (parks, recreation centers), and special-purpose purchasing cooperatives. School districts across Georgia—Tattnall County, Colquitt County, Candler County, Effingham County, Dougherty County, Houston County, Lamar County, Richmond County, and Douglas County—issued the majority of recent bids; Texas facilities (state health services, corrections, Edinburg CACFP) and Oregon corrections also posted. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), Texas HHSC, and Invest Atlanta (food distribution into Priority Communities) round out the issuing-body mix. Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Oregon, and across the South. Representative opportunities include the Tattnall County Board of Education's sealed-bid procurement for School Nutrition Program food products (due July 22, 2026, ITB format); Colquitt County School Nutrition's dual-vendor food and paper goods IFB for SY 2026-2027 (due June 8, 2026); the Texas HHSC supplemental food and consumables procurement serving state hospitals and living centers statewide across 210 line items (bid deadline extended to February 23, 2026); and the Houston County School District's approximately $14 million annual direct-delivery food solicitation (ITB 27-001, due April 17, 2026). Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, USDA grade standards, and compliance with Child Nutrition or institutional meal regulations appear in nearly all recent solicitations. The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement scope suggests this code should not be relied upon for market signals or opportunity targeting in this category.
