UNSPSC 50322910: Dried khustawi dates

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

UNSPSC 50322910 Dried khustawi dates is a Commodity code that covers dried date products for institutional food service. However, recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not align with dried dates specifically. Instead, school districts and state agencies are posting broad fresh produce and food-commodity RFPs and IFBs that include fresh fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and processed foods for nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) are soliciting fresh produce and mixed food commodities for school nutrition centers; the State of Georgia and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice are issuing parallel food-supply IFBs covering eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, grains, and canned goods. Issuing bodies span school districts, municipal departments of public purchases, state departments, and correctional agencies. The Buy American provision requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content in processed products applies across most school nutrition RFPs. MBE and CBE certifications are cited in municipal solicitations, and all vendors must maintain USDA compliance, health certifications, and commercial general liability insurance.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Hancock County Schools and the State of Georgia solicitations), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Texas (TDCJ cafeteria and prunes bids). Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools IFB for fresh produce (over 200 line items, due June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport IFB for 115 line items of mixed commodities including eggs, poultry, and cheese (due June 26, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller's IFB for cafeteria food products on behalf of TDCJ (approximately 382 line items with an extended due date of May 4, 2026). A separate TDCJ bid for whole pitted dried prunes (Bid IW236532, minimum 1,400 boxes of U.S. Grade B prunes) demonstrates narrow commodity sourcing alongside broader food-service procurements, though this opportunity had a February 20, 2026 due date now in the past. The code shows low recent activity specific to dried khustawi dates; the solicitations tagged under it reflect general food-service commodity procurement where dried dates are not prominently featured line items.
