UNSPSC 50357203: Frozen organic alphonso olives

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

UNSPSC 50357203 Frozen organic alphonso olives is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific produce item, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect procurement of frozen alphonso olives. Instead, the code appears in school district nutrition programs and institutional food service solicitations where it is misapplied to broader food supply contracts spanning proteins, dairy, produce, grains, and consumables. The scope of work actually being solicited includes comprehensive school nutrition program supplies (breakfast and lunch items, dairy, frozen and fresh produce, proteins, snacks, beverages, and paper goods), state institutional food service (hospitals and supported living centers), and municipal grocery market development and food distribution. Issuing bodies are predominantly Georgia school districts (Tattnall County, Colquitt County, Candler County, Effingham County, Richmond County, Lamar County, Houston County, Dougherty County, Douglas County), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving state facilities, the City of Edinburg for a child care food program, the City of Bridgeport for school board food service, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and Invest Atlanta for municipal market operations. The code shows no meaningful activity aligned with frozen alphonso olives specifically and represents a tagging mismatch between the commodity code and the actual procurement content.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, where school districts dominate recent solicitations with sealed-bid and RFP notices for school nutrition programs spanning July 2026 through June 2027 contract periods. Texas activity includes the state health and human services institutional food procurement and City of Edinburg child care program. Oregon Department of Corrections posted separate solicitations for pickles and relish in March 2026, which also appears misaligned with the frozen alphonso olives code. Representative recent opportunities include the Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct delivery of food, paper, and chemicals (due April 17, 2026) serving approximately 39 schools with 45,000 meals daily at approximately $14 million annually; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables across state facilities statewide (bid due extended to March 23, 2026, maximum contract value $4,500,000 over three years); the Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution serving 32,500 students with approximately $9 million annual expenditure (proposals due February 18, 2026); and multiple Georgia school district sealed-bid procurements for groceries, fresh produce, and dairy products for SY 2026-2027 and SY 2027 service periods. The code's recent activity reflects institutional and school food supply procurement broadly rather than a discrete frozen fruit commodity, and pursuit hinges on distributor or supplier capability across multiple product lines rather than specialty alphonso olive sourcing.
