UNSPSC 50302905: Gundila dates

The variety of dates known as gundila dates

UNSPSC 50302905 Gundila dates is a Commodity code that in practice names fresh produce supply and delivery for institutional food service, though the recent state and local solicitations under this code span a far broader range of fresh fruits and vegetables than gundila dates alone. State and local governments are actively soliciting produce suppliers to feed correctional facilities, mental health centers, school nutrition programs, senior centers, child care facilities, and regional parks. The issuing bodies include state departments of criminal justice and mental health, county boards of education and boards of commissioners, city and county parks departments, and independent school districts. Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Georgia school districts appear as repeat buyers. The work is commodity-focused — produce vendors quote unit prices per case, per pound, or per item; comply with USDA Buy American and food-safety standards; maintain temperature-controlled delivery; and accept orders through online systems or purchasing portals. Vendors bid on detailed line-item specifications covering apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, onions, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes, and seasonal items, with case sizes and pack configurations specified by the buyer.

The code sees steady activity across Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting fresh fruit and vegetable supply to the Palestine Food Warehouse (IW267376, due October 19, 2026) and the Wynne Food Warehouse in Huntsville (IW267411, due October 14, 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections requesting bi-weekly fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under a small-business set-aside (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District bidding petite bananas at an estimated annual value of $78,000 for the 2026–2027 school year (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks processed and packaged in ready-to-eat form sourced within 400 miles of Madison (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026); and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia requesting sealed bids on over 200 line items of fresh produce for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026). Many school district contracts carry Buy American provisions, local-vendor preferences, or geographic sourcing filters; correctional and mental health facility contracts often impose small-business set-asides and prevailing-wage compliance requirements.
