UNSPSC 50367218: Canned or jarred manzanilla olives

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

UNSPSC 50367218 Canned or jarred manzanilla olives, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct procurement activity under its specific product designation in state and local solicitations. Instead, olives and similar specialty food items appear as line items within broader food product solicitations issued by school districts, state agencies, and institutional food service programs seeking comprehensive grocery or food supply contracts rather than targeted procurement of this single commodity.

State and local buying under this code occurs primarily through school nutrition programs, state correctional and health agencies, and municipal food distribution initiatives across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Connecticut. Recent representative opportunities include the Tattnall County Board of Education's solicitation for food products supporting the School Nutrition Program for School Year 2026-2027 (IFB PE55089NONST2027000000002, due July 22, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's statewide supplemental food procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers covering 210 line items (IFB HHS0016792, originally due February 23, 2026), and the Houston County School District's direct-delivery food and warehouse solicitations (ITBs 27-001 and 27-002, due April 17 and April 16, 2026, respectively, with an estimated annual value of approximately $14 million). Issuing bodies span school boards, state health and corrections departments, and specialized feeding programs such as CACFP (Child and Adult Care Food Program), with Georgia school districts representing a concentration of recent activity. Geographic spread includes Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, multiple school districts), Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education). Manzanilla olives as a standalone commodity rarely command dedicated solicitations; procurement occurs as subordinate line items within larger food supply agreements where respondents must price hundreds of products across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and specialty items to meet institutional nutrition standards and USDA compliance requirements.
