UNSPSC 50312902: Organic barhi or barhee dates

The variety of organic dates known as organic barhi or barhee dates

UNSPSC 50312902 Organic barhi or barhee dates is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity actually solicited under this code shows little market relevance: Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 (due July 29, 2026) procures petite bananas, not dates—a fundamental mismatch between the code assignment and the work being bought. School districts dominate the recent activity block across multiple states, but they are sourcing fresh produce broadly (apples, bananas, vegetables, berries, eggs, and specialty items) rather than dates specifically. The geographic spread of recent opportunities spans Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, Douglas County through cooperative), Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), with the overwhelming preponderance of solicitations addressing fresh produce for school nutrition and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program delivery rather than specialty fruits like dates.

The code sees no demonstrated state and local procurement activity for organic barhi or barhee dates in the recent opportunities block. School nutrition programs and cooperative purchasing vehicles are the primary issuing bodies in the data, but their actual buying focuses on commodity fresh produce staples (bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables) and eggs delivered on weekly or bi-weekly schedules to school sites. The mismatch between the code's narrow specialty-date scope and the volume of fresh-produce procurement across the dataset suggests that dates—if purchased by state and local government at all—are either coded differently, acquired through broader fresh-fruit categories, or represent negligible procurement volume. Vendors in this commodity should verify whether the code is appropriately applied to their product line or whether reclassification to a broader produce family code would better surface opportunities in state and local school nutrition and food service procurement.
