UNSPSC 50302915: Yatimeh dates

The variety of dates known as yatimeh dates

UNSPSC 50302915 Yatimeh dates is a Commodity code. The recent state and local procurement activity indexed under this code, however, does not reflect procurement of yatimeh dates or specialty dates generally. Instead, the twenty-one opportunities posted between April and October 2026 show the code being used to tag broad fresh produce solicitations—including fresh fruits and vegetables, bananas, apples, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, and mixed grocery and food-service items—across correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, child-care food programs, and regional park concessions. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific date variety) and the actual purchasing behavior suggests either systematic miscoding by procurement offices or a data-indexing error. School districts account for the largest volume of activity, with Madison Metropolitan School District, DeSoto County School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Early County Board of Education, and Bartow County School System all posting produce bids in the review period. State departments of corrections and mental health (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health) issued multiple solicitations for fresh fruit and vegetable warehouse supply. Municipal and county venues included the City of San Antonio (senior services produce markets), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (park concessions), the City of Bridgeport (school board grocery items), Head Start of Greater Dallas, and Marion Health Care Coalition.

Geographic concentration is strongest in the Southeast and South—Georgia (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bartow County, DeSoto County School District in Mississippi, and an unidentified Georgia state agency), Texas (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Texas Department of Criminal Justice at multiple warehouse locations, City of San Antonio, City of Edinburg, Head Start of Greater Dallas, and the City of Bridgeport in Connecticut), and Illinois (Department of Corrections Joliet facility, Department of Mental Health Madden Mental Health Center)—with activity also in Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetables for the Palestine facility and Wynne Food Warehouse (IFB IW267376 and IW267411, due October 14 and October 19, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District bidding petite bananas at $78,000 annual value for September 2026–June 2027 delivery (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program for elementary students (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, contingent on federal grant approval); Hancock County Board of Education seeking fresh produce across 200+ line items for the 2026-27 school year (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); and Head Start of Greater Dallas soliciting approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat products for CACFP child-care programs with an estimated value of $969,460.94 and a one-year initial term with four optional renewals (IFB 26-GP, due June 24, 2026). Because the code does not align with actual procurement activity, pursue only if your firm services general fresh produce distribution to institutions; if your offering is yatimeh dates specifically, the code shows no relevant recent activity.
