UNSPSC 50337225: Dried organic ponentine olives

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

UNSPSC 50337225 Dried organic ponentine olives (Commodity) does not reflect the actual procurement activity currently tagged under this code. Recent state and local opportunities show no solicitations for olives, organic or otherwise. Instead, the code captures a broad range of food and consumable supply contracts—including school nutrition programs, correctional facility food service, child care meal programs, and state hospital supply—spanning produce, proteins, dairy, grains, prepared foods, paper goods, janitorial supplies, and food service consumables. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education across multiple states, along with state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia state agencies, Oregon Department of Corrections), city and county governments, and specialized entities such as the Invest Atlanta municipal market initiative. The work itself centers on direct delivery of food and related supplies to institutional customers under firm fixed-price contracts, typically with detailed nutritional compliance, Buy American requirements, HACCP certification, and weekly or recurring delivery schedules tied to meal service volumes.

Georgia school districts dominate recent activity, with at least eight posted solicitations from Tattnall County, Candler County, Colquitt County, Effingham County, Lamar County, Dougherty County, Houston County, and Richmond County Boards of Education, all seeking bids for school nutrition program supplies in May and June 2026. Beyond Georgia, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted supplemental food procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers (maximum contract value $4.5 million over three years); the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, solicited over 1,100 line items of grocery items for school lunch compliance (June 2026); the City of Edinburg, Texas, sought CACFP meal program supplies for 400 children daily with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 (August 2026 due date); Invest Atlanta issued a dual-track RFP for both a full-service municipal grocery market operator and food distributors with Georgia sourcing mandates (August 2026 due date); Oregon Department of Corrections posted multiple ITBs for pickles and pickle relish (March 2026); and the Douglas County School System in Georgia issued an RFP for a main-line food distributor serving 32 schools with approximately $9 million annual expenditure (February 2026 due date). The code sees steady activity across the South and selected western and northeastern jurisdictions, with procurement cycles concentrated in late winter through early summer for school-year contracts commencing July 1.
