UNSPSC 50337224: Dried organic picholine olives

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

UNSPSC 50337224 Dried organic picholine olives, a Commodity code, encompasses dried table olives and related preserved olive products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and specialized procurement vehicles. The recent opportunities block shows no direct procurement activity for dried picholine olives specifically; instead, the code's recent state and local solicitations predominantly reflect demand for general grocery staples, school meal program supplies, and institutional food service products across broader produce, protein, dairy, and condiment categories. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity definition and the actual scope of recent postings suggests this code sees limited direct activity, or purchasing entities are tagging multi-product food solicitations with higher-level family codes rather than specific commodity-level codes.

State and local buyers posting under this code's adjacent family-level categories include school districts (Tattnall County and Effingham County boards of education in Georgia, Colquitt County School Nutrition, Candler County School Nutrition, Richmond County Board of Education in Augusta), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC for Mexia State Supported Living Center), state criminal justice departments (Texas TDCJ), city procurement offices (Bridgeport, Connecticut and Edinburg, Texas), and specialized economic development entities (Invest Atlanta). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Connecticut and scattered municipal procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017798 for canteen groceries with responses due August 25, 2026, covering food service items across frozen, refrigerated, and shelf-stable categories; Colquitt County School Nutrition's sealed bid due June 8, 2026 for approximately 450+ food items and 50+ paper products for the 2026-2027 school year; and Texas TDCJ's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas with the extended response deadline of May 4, 2026. School nutrition contracts typically require Buy American compliance (over 51% domestic agricultural content), HACCP certification, weekly or bi-weekly delivery to multiple sites, and firm pricing for initial contract periods with escalation caps tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index data.
