UNSPSC 50377213: Canned or jarred organic kalamata olives

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

UNSPSC 50377213 Canned or jarred organic kalamata olives, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between the abstract code name and the recent state and local procurement activity tagged to it. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for canned or jarred olives of any type. Instead, the code aggregates widely divergent food-service and nutrition-program procurement across school districts, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, and municipal entities—spanning pickles, CACFP meal program supplies, cafeteria and canteen groceries, school nutrition programs, and municipal food distribution operations. The work being solicited is institutional food procurement at volume, not specialty food items.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for state-hospital and state-supported-living-center food service (HHS0017799, HHS0017798, HHS0016792V2); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice is procuring cafeteria food products (304T26300CF); and the City of Edinburg issued an RFP for CACFP meal-program supplies (RFP2026017). In Georgia, multiple school districts—Tattnall County (PE55089NONST2027000000002), Candler County (PE55093NONST2026000000003), Colquitt County (PE55646NONST2027000000015), Effingham County (PE55693NONST2027000000032), and Richmond County (PE72110NONST2027000000059)—posted IFBs and RFQs for school nutrition food and paper goods. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, solicited grocery items for its school board's food and nutrition services (BNB052266). Invest Atlanta issued a dual-track RFP for grocery retail operations and food distribution services (PE66789NONST2027000000021). The Oregon Department of Administrative Services posted a pickle-supply bid (S2910000018089), which is the only recent solicitation approaching the code's nominal scope, though it does not match the "kalamata" or "organic" qualifiers. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or too broadly across institutional food procurement; it does not track specialty or organic preserved foods as a distinct category.
