UNSPSC 50302913: Mactoum dates

The variety of dates known as mactoum dates

UNSPSC 50302913 Mactoum dates, a Commodity code, does not reflect the activity in recent state and local procurement under this classification. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code are solicitations for fresh produce, fresh fruits and vegetables, grocery items supporting school meal programs, senior services, and institutional food service — none of which are dates or date-specific products. State and local procurement offices are using the code to classify general produce and food-service procurement across a broad range of issuing bodies, including state departments of corrections and mental health, county school districts, cities, regional park authorities, and cooperative food-service consortia. The scope of work actually being purchased spans fresh fruits and vegetables for correctional facilities, state mental-health centers, school nutrition programs, senior centers, and regional recreation facilities, with deliveries typically required on fixed schedules (bi-weekly, weekly, or multiple times per week) and compliance with USDA standards, food-safety regulations, and in some cases prevailing-wage and Buy American requirements.

The issuing-body mix includes state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county boards of education and school districts across Georgia, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Texas, and Connecticut, county government departments (Collier County Parks and Recreation in Florida), city procurement offices (San Antonio, Bridgeport, Edinburg), and specialized consortia (Marion Health Care Coalition, Head Start agencies). The geographic concentration of recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Florida, Wisconsin, Mississippi, and Connecticut, with Texas and Georgia showing the highest volume of posted solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting fresh fruit and vegetables for its Palestine and Snyder food warehouses (IW267376 and IW267420, due October 19 and October 14, 2026 respectively), the Madison Metropolitan School District bidding petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4162 and RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, with annual bananas volume estimated at $78,000), Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia seeking over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), and the Bartow County School System in Georgia requesting local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, proposals due June 22, 2026). Most school district procurements are bid-based (IFB or sealed bid format) with firm pricing, delivery to multiple school sites or central warehouses, and contract terms of one year with optional renewals; institutional procurements frequently include prevailing-wage compliance, Buy American content requirements, and insurance thresholds ranging from $500,000 to $2 million in general liability coverage.
