UNSPSC 50357201: Frozen organic agrinion olives

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

UNSPSC 50357201 Frozen organic agrinion olives is a Commodity code with minimal current relevance to state and local procurement activity. The code nominally refers to a specific frozen olive product, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not purchase frozen olives at all. Instead, the opportunities posted under 50357201 span broad food service procurement — pickles, school nutrition groceries, child and adult care food program meals, state hospital and institutional dining, and cafeteria products for corrections and state supported living centers. The mismatch between the code's narrow definition and the actual purchasing activity suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a state and local taxonomy interpretation that treats 50357201 as a catch-all for preserved vegetable products or miscellaneous food items. The issuing bodies are diverse: state health and human services commissions in Texas, state departments of administrative services in Oregon, county school boards in Georgia (Tattnall, Candler, Colquitt, Effingham, Richmond), city education departments in Connecticut and Texas, corrections departments, and special-purpose entities such as Invest Atlanta. No single jurisdiction appears more than once in the recent record.

Recent opportunities span Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ procurements), Georgia (five school board bids), Oregon (Department of Administrative Services), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Texas cities (Edinburg). Texas and Georgia dominate the recent activity, driven by school nutrition programs and state institutional food service. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017798 for canteen groceries at Mexia State Supported Living Center, due August 25, 2026, covering canteen, food service, and frozen food products across three pricing tabs; the Tattnall County Board of Education's sealed bid for school nutrition food products for School Year 2026-2027, due July 22, 2026; and the City of Bridgeport's IFB for grocery items supporting the Board of Education's National School Lunch Program, due June 30, 2026, comprising over 1,100 line items with firm pricing through June 30, 2027. The Colquitt County School Nutrition IFB (due June 8, 2026) represents the issuing body's intent to award to the top two responsive vendors capable of supplying both food and paper goods. School nutrition contracts typically run July through June annually with renewal options up to four additional one-year terms, firm pricing for initial periods, and escalation clauses tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index data capped at 10 percent unless market conditions warrant higher adjustments. Buy American Act compliance (over 51 percent domestic agricultural content) and HACCP food safety certification are standard requirements across all issuing bodies.
