UNSPSC 50347211: Frozen gaeta olives

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

UNSPSC 50347211 Frozen gaeta olives is a Commodity code capturing a narrow product line within specialty food procurement, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show minimal direct relevance—the vast majority of activity across frozen olive products occurs within broader school nutrition, corrections, and institutional feeding programs where olives appear as minor line items within larger produce or specialty-food solicitations rather than as standalone buys. State and local governments procuring under this code are predominantly school districts (Tattnall County Board of Education, Candler County Board of Education, Colquitt County School Nutrition, Effingham County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, Lamar County School District, Dougherty County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, and Houston County School District in Georgia), along with state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), institutional food service operators (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and specialized municipal food programs (City of Edinburg CACFP, Invest Atlanta municipal markets). Pricing and packaging of frozen olives when specified appear embedded within cost-plus or firm fixed-price contracts serving 20-to-40-week school years or multi-year state institutional feeding cycles, with olives typically bundled as one line among 200-plus items in broader grocery or prepared-food procurement.

The geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, where school districts account for the largest number of recent solicitations, with secondary activity in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, City of Edinburg), Oregon (Department of Corrections pickle procurement), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and other states represented in the opportunities block. Representative recent activity includes the Houston County School District ITB 27-001 (posted March 13, 2026, due April 17, 2026) for direct-delivery food, paper, and chemicals serving 39 schools with roughly 350,000 cases annually at approximately $14 million; the Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution serving 32 schools with approximately $9 million annual spend; and the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0016792 (posted February 26, 2026, due February 23, 2026, later extended) for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. The code shows no recent standalone frozen-gaeta-olive procurements; pursuit would require positioning olives as approved equals or preferred brands within line-item bidding on larger institutional or school nutrition contracts, most of which are awarded on lowest-responsive-responsible-bidder or lowest-qualified-pricing bases with firm fixed pricing and no fuel or transportation surcharges permitted.
