UNSPSC 50337204: Dried organic amphissa olives

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

UNSPSC 50337204 Dried organic amphissa olives, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity state and local governments are conducting under this classification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code span broad food service provisioning — school meal programs, state institutional food service, municipal food distribution, and public agency cafeteria supply — but none involve dried olives or specialty produce items aligned with the code's literal name. Instead, the code is being applied to general grocery procurement across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, condiments, and paper goods that support child nutrition programs, state hospitals, state supported living centers, school boards, and municipal food assistance initiatives.

The issuing bodies are diverse school nutrition programs (Tattnall County, Candler County, Colquitt County, Effingham County, and Richmond County school boards in Georgia; Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, serving Mexia State Supported Living Center), state criminal justice systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller), city procurement departments (City of Bridgeport, City of Edinburg), and municipal economic development entities (Invest Atlanta). Georgia school districts dominate the recent activity, with eight of the most recent opportunities originating from Georgia county boards of education or municipal entities. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017798 for canteen and food service groceries at Mexia State Supported Living Center (bids due August 25, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 line items of grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program (responses due June 30, 2026), and multiple Georgia school board sealed-bid procurements such as Candler County's Food, Paper, and Chemical Bid for School Year 2027 (bids due June 12, 2026) and Colquitt County's SY26-27 School Nutrition Food/Paper Bid (bids due June 8, 2026). Activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas; Connecticut and isolated municipal procurement in other states appear occasionally. The mismatch between the code name and actual solicitation scope suggests this commodity classification is being used as a catch-all for institutional grocery provisioning rather than for specialty or organic produce procurement.
