UNSPSC 50312911: Organic khidri dates

The variety of organic dates known as organic khidri dates

UNSPSC 50312911 Organic khidri dates is a Commodity code that represents state and local governments' procurement of specialty date varieties for school nutrition programs, though recent opportunities under this code show minimal alignment with its nominal scope. The code appears rarely in active school district solicitations; instead, most recent postings tagged to this code involve fresh produce procurement for child nutrition programs—bananas, apples, berries, vegetables, and other fresh fruits and vegetables rather than dates or date products. State and local issuing bodies pursuing produce contracts span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn County, McAllen, Austin, Douglas County via the GEC Buying Cooperative), the Georgia state procurement office, and occasionally coordinated buys through purchasing cooperatives. School districts represent the dominant buyer category, driven by USDA Child Nutrition Program requirements and state-mandated institutional food service standards.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's request for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026); the Douglas County School System's cooperative procurement for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia areas (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spend $5.5 million combined); Hillsborough County Public Schools' solicitation for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program across 18 elementary schools in Tampa (RFP 26039RFPDST, proposal due March 11, 2026, estimated budget $600,000); and Austin Independent School District's request for fresh produce and beverages serving all AISD locations (RFP 26RFP034, due March 11, 2026). Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, food safety certifications, liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million, and affirmative action compliance are standard requirements across jurisdictions.
