UNSPSC 50327202: Dried aleppo olives

The variety of olives known as aleppo olives that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50327202 Dried aleppo olives (Commodity) encompasses dried whole olives and specialty olive products that state and local governments source for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations reveal that school districts and state corrections agencies are the primary buyers, procuring dried olives as components within broader food-service supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. The scope extends beyond the code name to include a wide range of dried fruit and preserved vegetable products — prunes, dried peppers, and similar shelf-stable items — that school nutrition centers and institutional kitchens stock for meal preparation and snack service. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Georgia and Texas corrections and food-service procurement offices), and municipal purchasing departments acting on behalf of school nutrition operations.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with recent solicitations from Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh and specialty produce spanning over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 response deadline and delivery to three school locations; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut posted a commodities IFB on June 2, 2026 (due June 26, 2026) covering 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center; the State of Georgia released a food-supplies IFB on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products on May 4, 2026 (extended to May 4, 2026) covering approximately 382 line items across five geographic Texas warehouse locations. All school nutrition solicitations enforce Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content in processed products. TDCJ and school district contracts typically award to single or multiple vendors based on responsiveness and pricing, with firm-fixed pricing and delivery to multiple institutional locations.
