UNSPSC 50327229: Dried sicilian olives

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

UNSPSC 50327229 Dried Sicilian olives, a Commodity code, encompasses dried fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional foodservice operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies purchasing dried fruits—including dried prunes, along with fresh produce and processed food items—as components of broader cafeteria supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. The work involves supplying USDA-grade-compliant dried and fresh agricultural products to school nutrition centers and correctional facilities, with vendors required to meet Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP food safety plans, health inspections, and comprehensive insurance and compliance certifications.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases (supplying the Bridgeport Board of Education) both posting nutrition-supply IFBs in June 2026. State agencies and state-managed systems also procure under this code: the State of Georgia posted a food and kitchen products solicitation in May 2026, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division) issued IFBs for cafeteria food products and prunes in May and April 2026. Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with deliveries required to school nutrition centers, correctional facilities, and multiple distribution points. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for 200+ line items of fresh produce and specialty items due June 26, 2026, and the City of Bridgeport's IFB for 115 line items of eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products due June 26, 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for dried prunes (U.S. Grade B, 60–70 count, minimum 1,400 boxes) closed February 20, 2026.
