UNSPSC 50337211: Dried organic gaeta olives

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

UNSPSC 50337211 Dried organic gaeta olives is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity shown in recent solicitations. The opportunities tagged with this code are actually requesting broad categories of food products—fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, frozen items, condiments, and consumables—for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, child care food programs, and state institutions. None of the recent solicitations explicitly specify dried organic gaeta olives or narrowly scoped olive products; the code appears to be a tagging error in the source system rather than an accurate commodity-level classification of the work being bought. State and local food procurement is fragmented across school districts, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, city and county purchasing offices, and special-purpose cooperative buying groups, with Georgia school districts (Tattnall County, Colquitt County, Candler County, Effingham County, Richmond County, Lamar County, Dougherty County, Houston County, and Douglas County) and Texas agencies (HHSC, TDCJ, City of Edinburg) representing the bulk of recent activity.

Representative recent solicitations include the Tattnall County Board of Education solicitation PE55089NONST2027000000002 for School Nutrition food products (sealed bid due July 22, 2026), the City of Edinburg RFP2026017 for CACFP meal program food and nonfood items including beverages, paper goods, proteins, and janitorial supplies (proposals due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051), the Invest Atlanta RFP PE66789NONST2027000000021 for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations in Priority Communities (proposals due August 6, 2026, Category A seeking retail grocery operators and Category B seeking food distributors), and the Texas HHSC Invitation for Bids HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (bid response deadline extended to March 19, 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years including renewals). Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with additional solicitations from Oregon (Department of Corrections pickles and relish), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education grocery items, sealed bids closed June 30, 2026), and scattered school districts nationwide.
