UNSPSC 50327216: Dried lucque olives

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

UNSPSC 50327216 Dried lucque olives, a Commodity code, nominally covers a single olive variety but sits within a broader produce and food procurement practice where state and local governments—primarily school districts and correctional agencies—buy diverse fresh and processed food items for nutrition programs and institutional food service. The recent opportunities under this code show school districts and state corrections departments soliciting fresh produce, dried fruits, and specialty food items in bulk quantities for cafeteria and institutional use. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut) and state-level correctional and procurement departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia). These jurisdictions buy food in high-volume standardized quantities with firm pricing over multi-year contract terms, compliance requirements including Buy American provisions and USDA grading standards, and delivery to multiple institutional sites.

Recent activity clusters in the South and Southwest, with visible procurement from Georgia (Hancock County Schools, State of Georgia), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Texas (TDCJ, multiple warehouse and distribution points). Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' June 2026 IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items with delivery through June 2027, Bridgeport's June 2026 commodities bid covering eggs, poultry, cheese, and produce for the Board of Education nutrition center, Texas TDCJ's cafeteria food products IFB (originally due April 21, 2026, extended to May 4, 2026) spanning 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and vegetables for six warehouse locations, and TDCJ's separate February 2026 bid for whole pitted dried prunes in 60–70 count size with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes. All solicitations impose firm, fixed pricing; USDA compliance and grading; comprehensive product documentation; and insurance and debarment certifications.
