UNSPSC 50357229: Frozen organic sicilian olives

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

UNSPSC 50357229 Frozen organic Sicilian olives is a Commodity code that nominally specifies a single frozen produce item, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show no alignment with frozen olives; instead, they encompass broad food service procurement spanning groceries, meal program supplies, and cafeteria provisions for school systems, state health and human services agencies, and municipal entities. State and local governments are soliciting under this code for comprehensive food and nonfood supplies supporting school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, child and adult care food programs, correctional facilities, and municipal food distribution initiatives. The issuing bodies span school districts (Tattnall County, Candler County, Colquitt County, Effingham County, and Richmond County boards of education in Georgia; Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia state procurement), municipal entities (City of Edinburg, Texas; City of Bridgeport, Connecticut; Invest Atlanta), and specialized food service operators (Boys & Girls Club in Texas). Scope varies from standardized line-item bids for school breakfast and lunch programs to comprehensive facility supply contracts spanning proteins, dairy, frozen vegetables, prepared entrees, beverages, condiments, paper goods, janitorial supplies, and disposable serviceware.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Connecticut and ongoing solicitations across school districts in multiple states. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017798 for canteen groceries and HHS0017799 for food service groceries serving Mexia State Supported Living Center, with bids due August 25, 2026; the City of Edinburg, Texas RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service supplies to 400 children daily, with a local-vendor preference applying and responses due August 4, 2026; Colquitt County Board of Education's IFB for school nutrition food and paper goods for 2026-2027, with sealed bids due June 8, 2026; and the City of Bridgeport's procurement of over 1,100 line items of grocery items for school food service under the National School Lunch Program, with electronic bids due June 30, 2026. Contracts typically run twelve to twenty-four months with optional renewals contingent on performance and appropriations, require Buy American compliance for school and federal programs, mandate HACCP food safety certification, and enforce strict delivery windows and specification adherence. The code's recent activity reflects practical food procurement rather than the frozen-olive product specification nominally embedded in the UNSPSC taxonomy.
