UNSPSC 50327227: Dried seracena olives

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

UNSPSC 50327227 Dried seracena olives (Commodity) covers dried and processed olive products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers treat this code narrowly—sourcing specific dried olive varieties and processed olive products as line items within larger fresh produce and food commodity RFQs and IFBs rather than as standalone procurement categories. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with secondary activity from state departments and correctional facilities. Buyers require products to meet Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items where applicable), USDA grade certifications, HACCP compliance, and detailed nutritional labeling. Vendors must provide E-Verify authorization, debarment verification, and product-liability insurance. The code shows minimal dedicated procurement activity; dried olives appear as individual line items within broader nutrition and food-supply solicitations rather than as primary focal categories.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Sparta, Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (though this solicitation emphasizes fresh rather than dried products and does not explicitly reference olives) with responses due June 26, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted a commodities IFB (BNB053266) on June 2, 2026, for 115 line items across eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruit and vegetable products due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE set-asides under City Ordinance 3.12.130. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, solicited cafeteria food products (IFB No. 304T-26-300CF) with an extended due date of May 4, 2026, covering approximately 382 line items and multiple distribution points across Texas. A prior TDCJ bid (IW236532) for whole pitted dried prunes (a closely related commodity) closed February 20, 2026, with a 1,400-box minimum order for the Corpus Christi location. The code shows no recent standalone dried-olive procurements; activity appears embedded within larger food-service solicitations where dried olives may or may not be itemized.
