UNSPSC 50327211: Dried gaeta olives

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

UNSPSC 50327211 Dried gaeta olives is a Commodity code covering dried olive products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show that school districts and criminal justice agencies are buying dried olives and other preserved produce items as part of broader food-service contracts, though dried gaeta olives specifically appear as line items embedded within larger commodity food procurements rather than as standalone purchases. The code serves school nutrition centers, detention facilities, and other public institutional food operations that source from multiple food categories under single consolidated RFQs and IFBs. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, city departments of public purchases acting on behalf of school boards, state departments of corrections, and state procurement divisions coordinating multi-agency food service. All recent opportunities enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products, HACCP and food-safety compliance, and USDA grade or quality certifications.
