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, nominally identifies a single product line, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little activity explicitly naming dried Sicilian olives or dried olives of any origin. The code sees limited relevant procurement activity in the dataset; the most directly related opportunity is a Santa Clara County bid for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans) issued in January 2026, which does not reference olives. The bulk of the tagged opportunities—spanning school district nutrition programs in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Virginia—solicit fresh produce, eggs, general grocery items, and prepared foods for cafeteria and correctional-facility operations, none of which center on dried olives as a procurement focus. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI School District) and county or state correctional and food-service agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department, City of Bridgeport Education). The State of Georgia and various county education systems dominate recent activity, followed by school districts in Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia.

Geographic spread of the recent opportunities concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, with five active solicitations from Liberty County, Douglas County, and Savannah-Chatham County school systems), the South-Central region (Texas, with TDCJ and a school nutrition opportunity), and scattered activity in California (Santa Clara County), Connecticut, Virginia, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce bid (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) for over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits; the Santa Clara County ITB for dried fruits and nuts (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026), which is the closest match to the code's scope but focuses on raisins, cranberries, walnuts, and pecans rather than olives; and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs (RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative, due March 4, 2026), serving 30 districts across two Georgia regions with estimated Area One spending of approximately $4.4 million. The code shows no recent solicitations specifically for dried Sicilian olives or dried olives as a standalone product; vendors pursuing this commodity should expect limited state and local demand based on current market activity.
