UNSPSC 50327218: Dried manzanilla olives

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

UNSPSC 50327218 Dried manzanilla olives is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized dried fruit products procured by state and local school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and related food service operations. The code shows minimal direct recent activity—no posted solicitations explicitly name dried manzanilla olives by product—but sits within a broader ecosystem of dried fruit and produce procurement where state and local agencies actively buy dried fruits, nuts, and fresh produce for institutional feeding operations. School districts and correction departments dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeat buyers including Georgia school systems (Douglas County, Liberty County, Hancock County), Texas corrections (TDCJ), California county corrections (Santa Clara), and Virginia school districts (Fairfax County). Solicitations under related dried fruit categories (dried prunes, dried cranberries, dried raisins, dried tropical fruit mixes) and produce procurement show sustained purchasing velocity across school nutrition and incarceration food service.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. The County of Santa Clara issued ITB ITBPRCFY260617 for dried fruits and nuts (including dried cranberries, dried raisins, dried tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans) for correctional food service, with bids due February 5, 2026, and a five-year contract term at firm-fixed Year 1 pricing with capped annual increases thereafter. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Bid IW236532 for whole pitted dried prunes (U.S. Grade B, 60-70 count) in February 2026, and separately solicited cafeteria food products (IFB 304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026) spanning 382 line items including dried and fresh items for multiple TDCJ warehouse locations. School nutrition solicitations—including Hancock County Schools (IFB SN002-2027, fresh produce, due June 26, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District (over 900 grocery line items, due April 29, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education (over 400 food items, due April 29, 2026), and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 (72 produce and egg line items serving 30 districts, approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spend, due March 4, 2026)—do not name dried manzanilla olives explicitly but reflect institutional procurement patterns where specialty dried produce sits alongside mainstream fresh and frozen goods. The Buy American provision (51 percent domestic content minimum for processed products) appears in most school solicitations, constraining sourcing for imported specialty items like manzanilla olives.
