UNSPSC 50327225: Dried ponentine olives

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

UNSPSC 50327225 Dried ponentine olives, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope covers dried olives, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect broad school nutrition and correctional facility food service procurement across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and miscellaneous food items — not olives or olive products specifically. None of the posted solicitations identify dried olives or olive products as line items or procurement categories. The mismatch between the code's intended scope and the actual buying activity suggests either systematic misclassification in the source data or that dried olives do not constitute a material procurement category in state and local food service contracting at present.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix across the block, including Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia), alongside specialized purchasers such as the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, County of Santa Clara (correctional facility food services), and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and the broader Southeast, with secondary representation in Texas, California, and the Mid-Atlantic region. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), covering over 200 line items of apples, berries, vegetables, melons, and citrus for delivery to three school locations; Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated spending of approximately $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara's ITB for dried fruits and nuts (due February 5, 2026) to supply its correctional facility. Given the absence of dried-olive procurement in the recent opportunities block, this code warrants close attention only if your firm actively pursues niche food-service items outside mainstream school nutrition and correctional institutional contracting, or if you believe the source data reflects systematic tagging errors rather than genuine market demand.
