UNSPSC 50367213: Canned or jarred kalamata olives

The variety of olives known as kalamata olives that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50367213 Canned or jarred kalamata olives is a Commodity code representing a single product line that state and local governments procure as one line item among hundreds in broader food-service solicitations. The code itself names a specific preserved olive product, but recent opportunities show it appears as a minor component within much larger meal-service and nutrition-program contracts rather than as a standalone procurement driver. School districts, state agencies, and county education boards dominate the issuing landscape, with occasional municipal and state-agency suppliers (corrections departments, health and human services commissions) also buying through food-service channels. Work solicited under this code is embedded within comprehensive nutrition programs—Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal service, National School Lunch Program (NSLP), School Breakfast Program, and state institutional feeding at correctional facilities and supported living centers—where olives appear as one snack, condiment, or salad component among dozens of other produce, protein, dairy, and shelf-stable items.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, with school districts in Tattnall, Candler, Colquitt, Effingham, Lamar, Dougherty, Houston, and Richmond counties all posting food-service solicitations between February and July 2026 that would include canned or jarred olives among hundreds of line items. Texas activity includes the City of Edinburg's CACFP meal program (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouse procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, response due May 4, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission supplemental food procurement for state hospitals statewide (IFB HHS0016792, response deadline extended to February 23, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years). Oregon Department of Corrections posted related pickle and pickled-item solicitations (ITBs S-29100-00016205, S-29100-00016195, March 2026), and Invest Atlanta's municipal market RFP (August 6, 2026) frames larger food-distribution infrastructure. Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP 26-003 for main-line food distribution with $9 million annual expenditure (February 18, 2026 response deadline). The code shows little standalone visibility—olives surface as one line among 300 to 1,000+ line items in school nutrition, institutional food service, and cooperative purchasing vehicle contracts, making differentiated pursuit difficult without access to full bid specs or vendor awards.
