UNSPSC 50302908: Khadrawi/khadrawy dates

The variety of dates known as khadrawi/khadrawy dates

UNSPSC 50302908 Khadrawi/khadrawy dates is a Commodity code that spans a narrow product category with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single dated opportunity in the source—the City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP meal program (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026)—frames dates only as one line item within a five-category food procurement that emphasizes beverages, paper goods, proteins, cheese, breads, fruits, vegetables, and snacks in support of child nutrition. The Edinburg RFP does not isolate khadrawi or khadrawy dates as a standalone requirement or material cost driver; they appear, if at all, embedded in a broader "fruits" category serving approximately 400 children daily over nine months. The remaining 27 opportunities in the source cover fresh produce, eggs, meats, dairy, beverages, and household supplies for school nutrition, senior services, and detention food programs across multiple states—none of which name dates as a distinct line item or procurement focus.

State and local buying under this code does not appear to be active at scale. The issuing bodies documented in the broader produce and food service opportunities (school districts in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Florida, Oregon, and California; county education systems; city purchasing offices; cooperative buying groups) procure dates rarely if at all, and when fresh fruit is specified, the line items emphasize apples, bananas, berries, citrus, grapes, melons, and stone fruits suited to meal programs and nutrition standards. No recent RFP, IFB, or ITB solicitation names khadrawi or khadrawy dates or dates of any variety as a commodity of interest. The code shows no measurable procurement momentum in state and local government markets during the period covered by these opportunities (January through August 2026).
