UNSPSC 50322907: Dried hilali dates

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

UNSPSC 50322907 Dried hilali dates is a Commodity code covering dried date products procured by state and local public bodies for institutional food service. Recent state and local opportunities show that school nutrition programs and correctional facilities are the primary buyers under this code, with solicitations spanning fresh produce contracts and broader commodity food procurement. The Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce including specialty items for the 2026-27 school year, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a bid for whole pitted dried prunes meeting USDA Grade B specifications with detailed packaging and quality requirements. These solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP and USDA certification, and firm fixed pricing with all-inclusive delivery to designated institutional locations. School districts and state correctional systems dominate the issuing-body mix, with nutrition programs requiring products delivered to multiple school and warehouse distribution points under multi-month contract terms.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with school district solicitations in the Southeast and state-level procurement through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts serving TDCJ facilities. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce with responses due June 26, 2026, requiring delivery to three school locations for the July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract period. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items with responses due May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2), and separately issued Bid No. IW236532 for whole pitted dried prunes in 60-70 count size requiring U.S. Grade B quality and USDA certification, with a revised due date of February 20, 2026. These procurement patterns reflect institutional food service scale and standardized USDA compliance requirements common across school nutrition and corrections procurement.
