UNSPSC 50302914: Neghal dates

The variety of dates known as neghal dates

UNSPSC 50302914 Negel dates is a Commodity code that does not show relevant recent procurement activity. The source material tags 27 state and local opportunities under this code, yet none of them are actually procuring dates—negel, deglet, or any date variety. The opportunities span fresh produce, grocery items, eggs, dried fruits and nuts, beverages, paper goods, janitorial supplies, and institutional food service across school districts, county boards of education, municipal purchasing offices, and specialized programs such as the Child and Adult Care Food Program and the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. The indexing mismatch is pronounced: a June 2026 Santa Clara County ITB for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans) is tagged under negel dates; multiple Georgia school district produce solicitations spanning apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, and tomatoes are tagged under the same code; and a City of Edinburg, Texas RFP for comprehensive CACFP meal program supplies—beverages, paper goods, proteins, cheese, breads, fruits, vegetables, snacks, and janitorial items—carries the negel dates classification despite no dates in scope.

The code appears to be a victim of overly broad or automated tagging in state and local procurement systems. Issuers include county school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi, Oregon, and California; municipal school districts in multiple states; city purchasing departments; county correctional facilities; Head Start agencies; and cooperative buying consortia spanning dozens of school districts. Geographic spread is national, with heaviest concentration in Georgia (Bryan County, Bulloch County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, Hancock County, Henry County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham systems), followed by Texas (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, City of Edinburg), and scattered activity in Florida, Mississippi, Oregon, Connecticut, and California. Until the indexing discrepancy is corrected at the source, business development professionals should treat opportunities tagged under this code as unreliable signals for actual negel date procurement and should verify commodity classification through the full RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB document before investing pursuit resources.
