UNSPSC 50347219: Frozen marche olives

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

UNSPSC 50347219 Frozen marche olives is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to the code's scope. The single recent opportunity citing this code—the City of Edinburg, Texas RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal service—lists frozen marche olives as a potential food category within a five-category procurement spanning beverages, paper goods, food products (proteins, cheese, breads, fruits, vegetables, snacks), janitorial supplies, and nonfood products; however, the solicitation's primary focus is broad meal service provisioning rather than specialty olive procurement. The code does not appear in other recent state and local food service solicitations reviewed, including school nutrition programs across Georgia and Texas, institutional food service for correctional facilities and state hospitals, and municipal grocery market development. When frozen olives appear in school nutrition and institutional foodservice RFPs, they are typically embedded within larger produce or condiment line-item categories rather than solicited as standalone commodity offerings.

State and local procurement activity under this code is too sparse to characterize issuing-body concentration, geographic spread, or representative pipeline momentum. School districts, state health and human services agencies, and correctional departments dominate recent food procurement across the broader produce and prepared-food categories, but frozen marche olives do not constitute a stand-alone procurement driver in any of the recent opportunities documented. The Edinburg CACFP RFP (due August 4, 2026) is the only solicitation explicitly tagging this code; it weights cost at 30 percent, qualifications and experience at 25 percent, technical approach and program management at 25 percent, and menu quality and nutritional value at 20 percent, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 for bids within 5 percent of lowest price. This code merits a watch posture rather than active pursuit absent evidence of standalone or high-frequency bundled procurement demand.
