UNSPSC 50327208: Dried cerignola olives

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

UNSPSC 50327208 Dried cerignola olives is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities tagged under it show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. The single relevant opportunity names only fresh produce and processed foods generically, without specifying dried cerignola olives as a line item. School districts and state nutrition programs are the primary issuing bodies soliciting under this code's category, purchasing fresh and processed foods for cafeteria operations, with Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) and HACCP or USDA compliance documentation standard across opportunities. The work being solicited spans broad food commodity procurement for school nutrition centers, state institutional feeding programs, and corrections facilities rather than specialty dried-olive procurement specifically.

The recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year with a June 26, 2026 due date; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases requested bids for 115 food commodity line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, and produce, also due June 26, 2026, through the OpenGov Procurement Portal; the State of Georgia issued a general food and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured cafeteria food products across five geographic areas via IFB 304T-26-300CF with a May 4, 2026 response date. A separate TDCJ procurement (Bid IW236532) for whole, pitted, dried prunes with a February 20, 2026 due date suggests occasional state interest in dried fruit, though this specific opportunity closed before the summary date. The code shows limited current activity directly tied to dried cerignola olives as a distinct commodity line.
