UNSPSC 50327207: Dried atalanta olives

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

UNSPSC 50327207 Dried atalanta olives (Commodity) does not reflect the actual procurement activity in state and local government under this code. Recent solicitations tagged with this code are instead requesting bids for fresh produce, prepared foods, and dried fruits—staple food service items for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and other institutional cafeterias—rather than olives of any type.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). A regional corrections facility (County of Santa Clara, California) and a state corrections agency (Texas Department of Criminal Justice) also solicit under this code. The breadth of institutional food service procurement—spanning fresh produce, eggs, proteins, grains, dairy, and prepared entrees—suggests the code is functioning as a catch-all for mixed food commodity sourcing rather than tracking a specific product line. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce (over 200 line items, sealed bids due June 26, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (approximately 76 minimum items across protein, dairy, grains, and produce, IFB 2000004323, sealed bids due April 27, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia (approximately 72 line items, estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined, proposals due March 4, 2026). A Texas Department of Criminal Justice bid for whole pitted dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532, minimum order 1,400 boxes, due date February 20, 2026) and a Santa Clara County detention facility ITB for dried fruits and nuts (five line items all-or-none, bid due February 5, 2026) represent the narrow category of actual dried fruit procurement under this code.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), with secondary activity in the Mid-Atlantic (Fairfax County, Virginia; Bridgeport, Connecticut), the Midwest (Rockwood R-VI, Missouri), Texas (state-level procurement and TDCJ), and California (Santa Clara County). Buy American provisions requiring a minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products and compliance with USDA nutritional standards appear across all school nutrition RFPs and IFBs. Vendors must typically demonstrate three to five years of experience, maintain $1 million or greater commercial general liability insurance, provide HACCP plans and food safety certifications, and accept firm fixed pricing for annual contract periods. The code's misalignment with actual purchasing activity suggests a taxonomy classification error at the source level rather than genuine procurement demand for dried atalanta olives in state and local institutional food service.
