UNSPSC 50322910: Dried khustawi dates

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

UNSPSC 50322910 Dried khustawi dates (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single dried-fruit commodity, yet the recent opportunities in the source span broad fresh and frozen produce procurement, specialty dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, walnuts, pecans), and general grocery and food-service supply — none of which specifically reference khustawi dates or dried date products. The most relevant recent opportunity is the County of Santa Clara's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts to support correctional food services, which solicited raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans but not dates; similarly, school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia have issued RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce, eggs, general grocery items, and cafeteria food products over the past six months, yet none identify dried dates as a line item or procurement target.

The absence of recent opportunities tagged to this commodity code signals either minimal current demand from state and local buyers for dried khustawi dates specifically, or a classification mismatch in the available records. Business development professionals should verify whether school districts, corrections departments, and other state and local nutrition programs in their target markets have included dried dates in historical procurements or are likely to add them to upcoming menus before committing resources to pursue this code. The broader dried-fruits-and-nuts family (exemplified by Santa Clara's dried-fruit procurement for correctional food services) remains active across multiple jurisdictions, but the specific khustawi variety has not yet appeared in the recent solicitations documented here.
