UNSPSC 50327203: Dried alphonso olives

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

UNSPSC 50327203 Dried alphonso olives, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code overwhelmingly solicit fresh produce and general food products for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities rather than dried olives specifically. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits with a due date of June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut requested bids for commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products due June 26, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) issued an IFB for cafeteria food products encompassing proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and produce due May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum from April 21). A single solicitation—TDCJ Bid No. IW236532 for dried prunes in 60-70 count size—represents the only recent opportunity that approaches dried fruit procurement, with a due date of February 20, 2026. The code's narrow commodity designation and the divergence between its name and what is actually being purchased suggest that state and local agencies are tagging broad food procurement under this code without specificity to alphonso olives or dried olives generally.

Activity is concentrated among school districts and state correctional systems in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with no repeat buyers soliciting dried olives in particular. The State of Georgia also posted a general food supplies solicitation due June 22, 2026, though the full scope was not disclosed in the available documents. Vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should verify that each solicitation's actual scope aligns with their product or service before investing in pre-bid preparation, as the code's taxonomy label does not reliably predict what is being bought.
