UNSPSC 50302914: Neghal dates

The variety of dates known as neghal dates

UNSPSC 50302914 Neghal dates (Commodity) describes fresh produce supply to state and local institutions, though the code name does not align with the recent solicitation activity tracked under it. State and local governments are actively procuring fresh fruits and vegetables—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, tomatoes, peppers, and related items—for institutional food service across correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, senior services, child care programs, and regional parks. The work spans wholesale produce sourcing with delivery to central warehouses or individual sites, often on a bi-weekly or weekly basis with strict freshness, quality, temperature, and compliance standards. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county and city school nutrition programs, county boards of education, municipal departments of human services, regional health care coalitions, and special-purpose entities such as Head Start programs and park districts. School districts dominate recent posting volume, reflecting consistent annual procurement cycles for National School Lunch Program and Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal service.

Recent activity spans Texas (TDCJ facilities in Palestine, Snyder, and Huntsville; City of Edinburg CACFP; Head Start of Greater Dallas), Illinois (TDCJ Joliet Treatment Center, DMH Madden Mental Health Center), Georgia (Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools), Florida (Collier County North Collier Regional Park), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Mississippi (DeSoto County School District), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted multiple fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations (IW267376, IW267420, IW267411) with October 2026 response dates. Madison Metropolitan School District issued bids for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, with Wisconsin-sourced locational and 5% diverse-business preference). School nutrition programs consistently impose Buy American provisions (domestic agricultural content minimums of 51%), HACCP compliance, prevailing wage certification, local-vendor preferences where permitted, and insurance requirements ($500,000–$1,000,000 general liability typical). Contracts typically run one school or fiscal year with renewal options of two to four years. Pricing models vary from fixed unit pricing to cost-plus-fee arrangements; most require F.O.B. Destination delivery with no separate fuel surcharges and payment within 30–45 days of invoice.
