UNSPSC 50367234: Canned or jarred Alorena olives

The Alorena Olive is a variety of table olive native to the Valley of Guadalhorce where it is grown. The fruit is egg-shaped, similar to an apple in shape and color, it is like a small apple and for this reason many calls it 'mini apple'. The hole where the stem is attached to the fruit is circular, deep and large.

UNSPSC 50367234 Canned or jarred Alorena olives is a Commodity code that does not map cleanly to recent state and local procurement activity; the code shows minimal relevant purchasing. State and local solicitations tagged under this code predominantly seek broader grocery and food supply contracts—school nutrition programs, institutional feeding operations, and municipal food services—where Alorena olives (if procured at all) would be a minor line item within hundreds of others, not the focus of the solicitation. The recent opportunities block contains no standalone bids for jarred or canned olives as a distinct product category. When olives appear in procurement scopes, they are subsumed into comprehensive food supply RFQs and IFBs that request pricing on over 200 to 1,100+ line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, grains, snacks, condiments, and supplies. The issuing bodies pursuing these broader contracts include school districts (Tattnall County Board of Education in Georgia, Candler County, Colquitt County, Houston County, Richmond County, Effingham County, Dougherty County, Lamar County), state agencies (Texas HHSC, Georgia state procurement), municipalities (City of Edinburg, Texas; City of Bridgeport, Connecticut; Invest Atlanta), and specialty-purpose agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections).

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (multiple school districts, state procurement) and Texas (HHSC statewide, TDCJ, City of Edinburg), with secondary activity in Connecticut, Oregon, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC procurement (IFB HHS0016792, due February 23, 2026) for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with 210 line items and a $4.5 million potential contract value; the Colquitt County School Nutrition RFP (IFB SY26-27, due June 8, 2026) seeking food and paper goods for 2026–2027 with approximately 450+ food items and 50+ paper products; the Bridgeport Board of Education grocery items IFB (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) covering over 1,100 line items supporting the National School Lunch Program; and the Houston County School District direct-delivery food RFP (ITB 27-001, due April 17, 2026) valued at approximately $14 million annually. These contracts emphasize Buy American requirements, USDA compliance, nutritional standards, and firm fixed pricing with allowances for economic adjustments, but none isolates olives as a distinct procurement driver. Vendors pursuing this code should expect to compete on comprehensive food-supply platforms where olive pricing is one component among hundreds rather than a standalone specialty item.
