UNSPSC 50312901: Organic asharasi dates

The variety of organic dates known as organic asharasi dates

UNSPSC 50312901 Organic asharasi dates is a Commodity code representing fresh specialty produce items purchased by state and local school nutrition programs. However, the recent opportunities associated with this code show little relevant procurement activity — the code appears misapplied to school produce solicitations. The recent-opportunities block contains eighteen school nutrition bids and RFPs, none of which actually solicit organic asharasi dates. Instead, these solicitations cover broad fresh produce assortments (bananas, apples, berries, vegetables, lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, citrus, potatoes, onions, eggs) and, in one instance, petite bananas specifically. The disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the work being bought suggests this code sees limited current utilization in state and local procurement, or the taxonomy mapping is inaccurate at source.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida dominate the issuing-body mix for produce procurement in this dataset, with individual RFPs and IFBs issued by Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Douglas County School System (Georgia, through the GEC Buying Cooperative), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia). One procurement from the State of Georgia appears as well. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated $78,000 annual value), Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026, estimated $5.5 million across two geographic areas), and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFQDST for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty produce (due March 11, 2026, estimated $600,000 USDA-funded). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Wisconsin and Florida.
