UNSPSC 50357213: Frozen organic kalamata olives

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

UNSPSC 50357213 Frozen organic kalamata olives is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly matching the product specification. The code shows no recent solicitations explicitly requesting frozen organic kalamata olives as a line item or primary procurement target.

Recent opportunities tagged under this code or related food procurement categories reveal a broader pattern of state and local governments purchasing comprehensive food service supplies for school nutrition programs, institutional feeding (state hospitals, corrections facilities), and child care meal programs rather than sourcing specialty or organic produce items in isolation. School districts across Georgia—including Tattnall County, Effingham County, Colquitt County, Lamar County, Houston County, Dougherty County, and Richmond County—are issuing sealed-bid invitations for large volumes of standardized food products spanning proteins, grains, dairy, produce, and paper goods under National School Lunch Program compliance requirements. The City of Edinburg, Texas, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the Oregon Department of Corrections are similarly soliciting food and consumables on a line-item basis within broad commodity categories. School districts and institutional buyers typically evaluate bids on cost, qualifications, technical approach, and nutritional value compliance rather than sourcing specialty items; pricing must remain firm throughout contract periods with escalation clauses tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data. Issuing bodies require Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP food safety certification, compliance with Child Nutrition standards including sodium and whole grain limits, and all-inclusive pricing covering packing and transportation with no separate fuel surcharges permitted. A representative example is the Houston County School District ITB 27-001 posted March 13, 2026, with bids due April 17, 2026, seeking direct food delivery to approximately 39 schools serving 31,000 students and 45,000 meals daily with an estimated annual value of approximately $14 million; the district requires weekly deliveries, a minimum 95% fill rate, and $1 million general liability insurance. The geographic concentration of recent activity is predominantly Georgia school systems, with secondary activity in Texas institutional feeding and Oregon corrections procurement. No recent opportunities name frozen organic kalamata olives as a specified line item or approved equal product, and the code does not appear to reflect active state or local procurement focus for this specialty commodity.
