UNSPSC 50327217: Dried lugano olives

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

UNSPSC 50327217 Dried lugano olives is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure dried fruits and nuts under this code primarily through school nutrition programs and correctional food services. Recent solicitations show demand for dried produce items—raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blends, walnuts, and pecans—supplied to detention facilities, school districts, and county nutrition centers. The work encompasses specification-driven procurement of shelf-stable dried fruits and nuts meeting USDA grade or nutritional standards, often bundled with broader food service contracts but occasionally solicited as standalone line items. Issuing bodies include county school districts (Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System), city boards of education (Bridgeport, Connecticut), county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County Office of the Sheriff), and state agencies managing institutional food services (Georgia and Texas). School nutrition programs dominate recent activity, driven by annual sourcing cycles tied to the July-June fiscal year for K-12 food service.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and the broader Southeast, with secondary activity in California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Santa Clara County's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts to supply Elmwood Correctional Facility, with bids due February 5, 2026, covering dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on a five-year contract; Hancock County Schools' IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce (including dried items as part of a broader 200-line-item produce solicitation) with bids due June 26, 2026; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in two Georgia areas, estimated at $5.5 million annually with proposals due March 4, 2026. Buy American requirements and domestic-content minimums (typically 51 percent for processed items) appear consistently across school nutrition procurements. Payment terms run Net 30 to Net 45 days, with pricing firm for the contract term and delivery required to multiple sites on weekly or as-needed schedules.
