UNSPSC 50347215: Frozen ligurian olives

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

UNSPSC 50347215 Frozen ligurian olives is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure frozen olives and related specialty food items through this code primarily to support child nutrition programs, school food services, and institutional meal operations. Recent solicitations show a broad spectrum of frozen and refrigerated food procurement where olives appear alongside proteins, dairy, produce, and prepared entrees—though frozen Ligurian olives specifically represent a niche product line within larger food-service contracts rather than a standalone commodity category in most recent opportunities. The issuing bodies span school districts (Douglas County, Houston County, Tattnall County, Candler County, Colquitt County, Lamar County, Dougherty County, Effingham County, Richmond County, and Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department of Education), county boards of education across Georgia, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, City of Edinburg, Invest Atlanta). The mix is heavily weighted toward school nutrition programs serving National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program requirements, with secondary activity in state institutional food service, corrections, and child care food programs.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, where multiple school districts issued food procurement solicitations between January and July 2026 (Douglas County, Houston County, Tattnall County, Candler County, Colquitt County, Lamar County, Dougherty County, Effingham County, Richmond County, and state-level IFBs), with additional activity in Texas (HHSC supplemental food, TDCJ cafeteria items, City of Edinburg CACFP), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), and Oregon (Department of Corrections pickle and produce). Representative recent opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items solicitation (IFB, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items with strict Buy American and nutritional compliance; the Houston County School District's direct-delivery food and warehouse-delivery procurements (ITB 27-001 and 27-002, due April 16–17, 2026) valued at approximately $14 million annually for 350,000 cases; the Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution RFP (due February 18, 2026) seeking a main-line distributor for approximately $9 million in annual food service; and the Texas HHSC supplemental food and consumables IFB (due March 19, 2026, extended from February 23) covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers with a potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Code shows no recent standalone frozen-Ligurian-olive opportunities; the commodity appears only within comprehensive food-service line-item lists in larger institutional or school nutrition procurements where specialized condiment and produce items are bundled with staples.
