UNSPSC 50377200: Canned or jarred organic olives

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

UNSPSC 50377200 Canned or jarred organic olives is a Class code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable produce items for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show minimal direct purchasing of olives themselves and instead reflect broader grocery and food-supply categories where organic preserve items may be incidental line items. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and municipal food distribution initiatives. The issuing bodies span school districts (Tattnall County Board of Education, Candler County Board of Education, Colquitt County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, Effingham County Board of Education, Houston County School District, Lamar County School District, Douglas County School System, and Bridgeport Board of Education), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via Texas Comptroller, State of Georgia, and Oregon Department of Corrections), and regional food-systems entities (Invest Atlanta for municipal market operations). The code's nominal focus on organic olives does not align with the actual scope of recent opportunities; instead, recent solicitations weight the class broadly within comprehensive food-supply procurement spanning proteins, dairy, produce, grains, snacks, and consumable supplies.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Edinburg, Texas RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal-program food and nonfood items due August 4, 2026 (IFB format, five supply categories including beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial and nonfood supplies, daily delivery required); the Tattnall County Board of Education sealed-bid solicitation for School Nutrition Program food products due July 22, 2026 (IFB format, specifications across produce, proteins, dairy, and grains); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumable products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with 210 line items and a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years (extended response deadline February 23, 2026, now closed); the Bridgeport Board of Education IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items including breakfast items, frozen products, condiments, and meat products, with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients), and delivery Monday through Friday to central warehouse and school sites (deadline June 30, 2026, now closed); the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB procurements for pickle relish and sliced dill pickles (S2910000016381 and S2910000016195, approximately 864 pails or cases per truckload, FOB destination to Salem, Oregon, with Oregon goods and resident-bidder preferences up to 10 percent combined, historical pricing at $22–$37 per 5-gallon pail); and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (due March 4, 2026, evaluation through April 2026, notice to proceed April 27, 2026). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with Buy American Act compliance (51 percent domestic agricultural content), USDA grading standards, HACCP food safety requirements, and compliance with Child and Adult Care Food Program or National School Lunch Program regulations appearing consistently across solicitations. Contract values range from under $5,000 to $14 million annually for large school districts; payment terms typically run Net 30 to Net 45 days; and pricing is firm for the initial contract period with mid-year or quarterly economic price adjustments permitted based on USDA Agricultural Marketing Service reports or Consumer Price Index data where specified. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or women-owned businesses are identified in the posted solicitations, though some jurisdictions (Invest Atlanta, Douglas County) reference cooperative purchasing vehicles and the Texas procurement includes SmartBuy administrative fees.
