UNSPSC 50327213: Dried kalamata olives

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

UNSPSC 50327213 Dried kalamata olives is a Commodity code that encompasses procurements of dried fruit products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show minimal alignment with its nominal scope. School districts and state agencies are the primary issuing bodies, soliciting fresh produce, processed food commodities, and specialty items for cafeteria and nutrition programs rather than dried olives specifically. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items—apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, and specialty fruits—for the 2026–27 school year; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center; and the State of Georgia issued an IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple solicitations for cafeteria food products and specialty items such as prunes, reflecting ongoing institutional food service procurement activity across the state and federal correctional systems.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with Georgia showing the highest recent volume. The Hancock County Schools IFB closed June 26, 2026, requiring firm pricing for the full contract year (July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027) and delivery to three school locations; the City of Bridgeport IFB (BNB053266) closed the same date with contract term through June 30, 2027, requiring electronic submission through OpenGov and MBE/CBE certifications under city ordinance. The State of Georgia IFB (PE55645NONST2026000000009) closed June 22, 2026, with details in attached documentation. The Texas Comptroller issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on behalf of TDCJ for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas, with response due May 4, 2026, after extension via addendum, and initial contract term through August 31, 2027, plus two optional one-year renewals. All school district opportunities carry Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products and mandate HACCP plans, E-Verify, and debarment verification. The code shows limited recent activity genuinely matching dried kalamata olives procurement.
