UNSPSC 50327226: Dried royal olives

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

UNSPSC 50327226 Dried royal olives is a Commodity code that covers packaged dried olive products procured by state and local school nutrition programs and correctional facilities as components of broader food-supply contracts. State and local governments do not solicit dried royal olives in isolation; instead, they appear as line items within multi-category food procurement RFPs and IFBs serving school lunch programs, institutional feeding operations, and correctional facilities. The issuing bodies are school districts, state departments managing nutrition or corrections, and municipalities overseeing school nutrition centers. Solicitations require compliance with Buy American provisions mandating minimum domestic content (typically 51 percent for processed products) and USDA grade certification, with vendors expected to deliver on firm-fixed pricing and maintain HACCP plans, insurance coverage, and debarment clearances.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut, with school-district nutrition programs (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut) and state correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice) posting the most recent activity. A representative recent opportunity is Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce and related items spanning over 200 line items due June 26, 2026, delivering to three school locations over the 2026–2027 school year; a second example is the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products with approximately 382 line items across five geographic areas, due May 4, 2026. A third opportunity, Texas TDCJ Bid No. IW236532, explicitly solicited whole pitted dried prunes (a related dried-fruit commodity) in 60-pound boxes at U.S. Grade B quality, due February 20, 2026, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for one delivery area. Dried olives appear to see limited standalone solicitation volume; most procurement occurs as subordinate items within larger food-supply contracts managed by school nutrition administrators and state corrections procurement officers.
