UNSPSC 50377211: Canned or jarred organic gaeta olives

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

UNSPSC 50377211 Canned or jarred organic gaeta olives (Commodity) covers fresh and preserved produce items—particularly specialty produce, condiments, and prepared vegetable products—that state and local food service programs procure for school nutrition, institutional feeding, and municipal food distribution operations. The code's recent activity reflects procurement of broader grocery staples and prepared foods rather than specialty olives specifically; the issuing bodies include school boards, state health and human services departments, county education systems, municipal procurement offices, and regional food authorities sourcing inventory for child nutrition programs, state-operated living centers, correctional facilities, and community food access initiatives.

School boards dominate recent solicitation volume under this code, with districts in Georgia (Tattnall County, Candler County, Colquitt County, Effingham County, Richmond County), Texas (Bridgeport), and Connecticut (Bridgeport) issuing multiple IFBs and RFQs for annual food and paper goods contracts supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program; state procurement agencies—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Georgia—issue parallel bids covering institutional food service for state hospitals, supported living centers, and correctional facilities. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases RFQ for over 1,100 line items of grocery products with a firm fixed contract term July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 (bids due June 30, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017799 for food service groceries supporting Mexia State Supported Living Center for FY27 (bids due August 25, 2026); the Effingham County Board of Education IFB for weekly delivery of grocery items to 15 schools for 2026-2027 (bids due June 1, 2026); and the Richmond County Board of Education RFQ for grocery products covering 2026-2028 school years with firm pricing July 1, 2026 onward (quotations due May 27, 2026). Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut show the heaviest recent activity, with broader procurement visible across school nutrition programs and state institutional food service in the South and Southwest.
