UNSPSC 50367224: Canned or jarred picholine olives

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

UNSPSC 50367224 Canned or jarred picholine olives is a Commodity code that captures preserved olive products for food service and institutional dining, though recent state and local solicitation activity under this specific code shows minimal direct procurement. The category encompasses shelf-stable, jarred or canned picholine olive varieties used in school meals, correctional facility food service, healthcare institutional dining, and public agency food programs. State and local buyers occasionally tag food service solicitations with pickle or preserved-vegetable codes when sourcing mixed condiments, preserved goods, or specialty items, but the recent opportunities block shows no standalone procurement focused on picholine olives. Instead, recent activity in the preserved-food family reflects broader procurement patterns in school nutrition programs, state institutional food service (hospitals, correctional facilities, supported living centers), municipal markets, and child-care meal programs—all of which source olives and similar shelf-stable items as component ingredients within larger food-supply contracts rather than as stand-alone line items.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (Douglas County, Candler County, Colquitt County, Dougherty County, Houston County, Lamar County, Richmond County, Effingham County school districts; State of Georgia food procurement; Invest Atlanta municipal market initiative), Texas (City of Edinburg CACFP meal program; Tattnall County; Texas HHSC state hospital and supported living center supply; Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food), and Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections pickle and relish procurement), with school districts and state institutional food-service buyers representing the dominant purchasing base. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Edinburg's RFP 2026017 for CACFP meal program supplies (due August 4, 2026), which spans beverages, paper goods, proteins, and food products supporting 400 children daily; the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables statewide (closed February 23, 2026, with maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years); and Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct delivery of food, paper, and chemical supplies with estimated annual value of approximately $14 million. The code shows little standalone procurement signal and is typically subsumed within institutional bulk-food contracting where olives appear as a minor commodity line item alongside proteins, produce, dairy, and dry goods rather than as a focused procurement category.
