UNSPSC 50367200: Canned or jarred olives

The type of fruit known as olive that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50367200 Canned or jarred olives, a Class code, does not align with the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this tag. Recent opportunities posted under this code span school nutrition programs, institutional food service for prisons and hospitals, child care meal programs, and municipal grocery market operations — none of which center on olives as a primary procurement focus. The mismatch reflects either tagging error or the code's role as a subsidiary product within broader food-service solicitations rather than a standalone commodity line.

School districts and state agencies dominate the issuing bodies, with Georgia school districts (Tattnall County, Colquitt County, Candler County, Effingham County, Richmond County, Lamar County, Dougherty County, Houston County, and Douglas County) and Texas entities (City of Edinburg, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice) posting the bulk of recent activity. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, Invest Atlanta, and the Oregon Department of Corrections also solicited food-service contracts. When solicited, the actual procurement scope covers hundreds of line items across proteins, dairy, produce, grains, frozen goods, beverages, paper supplies, and chemicals — with olives appearing only as one item among thousands in comprehensive food-service RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs. Georgia and Texas show the most recent activity, with scattered opportunities in Connecticut and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the City of Edinburg's RFP 2026-017 for a CACFP meal program (due August 4, 2026) covering five supply categories serving 400 children daily; Tattnall County School Nutrition's sealed-bid procurement for School Year 2026-2027 food products (due July 22, 2026); Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct food delivery estimated at $14 million annually (due April 17, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables statewide serving state hospitals and supported living centers (extended deadline February 23, 2026, with contract value up to $4.5 million over three years). The code shows material volume in school nutrition procurement but little targeted demand for olives specifically; vendors pursuing activity under this tag should expect to compete on comprehensive food-service capability rather than specialty preservation or condiment expertise.
