UNSPSC 50337203: Dried organic alphonso olives

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

UNSPSC 50337203 Dried organic alphonso olives (Commodity) does not reflect the actual food procurement activity appearing in recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code. The indexed opportunities center on broad grocery and food service supply contracts—school nutrition programs, state institutional food service, municipal market operations, and child care meal programs—spanning fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared food products alongside paper goods, janitorial supplies, and kitchen consumables. No solicitations in the dataset target olives, dried or otherwise, and the code's narrow commodity scope conflicts sharply with the expansive, multi-category food procurement work that issuing bodies are classifying under it.

Activity is geographically dispersed across Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Oregon, with school districts (Tattnall County, Candler County, Colquitt County, Effingham County, and Richmond County in Georgia; Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut) and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office, Georgia state procurement, Oregon Department of Administrative Services) as the primary issuing bodies. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017799 for food service groceries at Mexia State Supported Living Center (bids due August 25, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's BNB052266 for over 1,100 line items of school lunch program grocery items including proteins, dairy, produce, and baked goods (bids due June 30, 2026), and Invest Atlanta's RFP PE66789NONST2027000000021 for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations in Priority Communities (proposals due August 6, 2026). School nutrition contracts dominate by volume, with issuing bodies requiring compliance with Buy American Act provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), USDA Child Nutrition program standards, whole-grain and sodium specifications, HACCP food safety certification, and weekly or daily delivery schedules to multiple school sites. The mismatch between the code's olive-specific definition and the broad institutional food-service procurement actually occurring suggests that either the indexing is systematic across this code or the code is being used as a catch-all for general food commodities—a signal worth noting for portfolio strategy.
