UNSPSC 50327200: Dried olives

The type of fruit known as olive that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50327200 Dried olives, a Class code, describes preserved fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for food service operations in schools, corrections facilities, and other institutional dining programs. Recent solicitations show that school nutrition departments and corrections agencies are acquiring commodity food items under this code classification, though the actual opportunities posted span fresh produce, eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and other proteins rather than dried olives specifically. The mix of issuing bodies includes school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (State of Georgia), and corrections agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Vendors respond to IFB notices with sealed bids due within two to four weeks of posting; all school nutrition procurements require Buy American compliance with a minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products, HACCP plans or equivalent food safety documentation, E-Verify authorization, and debarment verification. Payment terms typically run Net 30 to Net 45 days, and awards are made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or distributed among multiple vendors at the buyer's discretion.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026 (bids due June 26, 2026) for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty fruits for delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted commodities IFB BNB053266 on June 2, 2026 (electronic submissions due June 26, 2026) for 115 line items of eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products to supply the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, with MBE/CBE certification applicable. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009 on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026), with full scope contained in an attached document. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 (extended to May 4, 2026 via Addendum No. 2) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and staples for delivery to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas; the initial contract term runs through August 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals.
