UNSPSC 50322904: Dried fardh dates

The variety of dates known as fardh dates that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50322904 Dried fardh dates is a Commodity code with limited recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes dried date products, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for dried dates of any kind. Instead, the handful of opportunities tagged to this code reflect broad food service procurement across school districts, county correctional facilities, and state agencies — none of which target dried dates specifically. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests this code sees minimal buying activity in state and local markets, or that opportunities are being miscategorized at submission.

The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried fardh dates. School districts and county food service operations dominating the tagged records are procuring fresh produce, eggs, frozen entrees, dairy products, grains, and proteins in bulk quantities — typical school nutrition and institutional cafeteria line items — but dried date products do not appear in any of the named opportunities. Santa Clara County's dried fruits and nuts solicitation (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) encompasses dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mixes for the Department of Correction, but dried dates are not listed. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice's prunes procurement (Bid No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026) and the Rockwood R-VI School District's 900-line-item grocery solicitation (due April 29, 2026) similarly contain no dried date line items. Absent a recent opportunity directly purchasing dried fardh dates from state, local, or special-purpose district buyers, this code does not currently signal procurement demand in the state and local market.
