UNSPSC 50327214: Dried kura olives

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

UNSPSC 50327214 Dried kura olives is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it bears no relation to this specific product line. The sourced opportunities span fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables), proteins, dairy, grains, and dried fruits such as prunes, raisins, cranberries, walnuts, and pecans — but no kura olives or any dried olive products appear in the itemized scopes. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing body mix: Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all solicited fresh produce and grocery items. Criminal justice food service procurement also appears: Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued separate solicitations for cafeteria food products and dried prunes, and Santa Clara County's Department of Correction solicited dried fruits and nuts. State-level solicitations from Georgia and Texas round out the issuing body set.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, where school districts in Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County (serving 30 districts through a cooperative) issued produce and food product RFPs and IFBs between January and June 2026. Texas, Connecticut, Virginia, Missouri, and California round out the geographic spread. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 response date and delivery to three school sites; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (response April 27, 2026) covering delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens; Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (response March 4, 2026) spanning 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million; and Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts to supply a correctional facility (response February 5, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity — the tagging appears to be a classification error, and vendors should verify the actual commodity before pursuing opportunities under this code.
