UNSPSC 50322911: Dried khidri dates

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

UNSPSC 50322911 Dried khidri dates is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses a broader range of dried fruit and specialty produce items than the code name alone suggests. School districts and state agencies are soliciting dried fruits, including prunes and dates, as line items within larger food-supply contracts for student nutrition programs and correctional facilities. The issuing bodies are primarily school nutrition programs, state departments of education, and state correctional agencies purchasing through centralized procurement divisions or local school board nutrition centers. These buyers treat dried fruits as commodity inputs within comprehensive food-service contracts rather than as standalone procurement lines.

Recent activity centers on Texas and Georgia. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. IW236532 for whole, pitted, dried prunes meeting U.S. Grade B quality in 60–70 count size, with the due date of February 20, 2026, and a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for Delivery Area 1 (Corpus location); the State of Georgia posted IFB PE55645NONST2026000000009 on May 15, 2026, for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response date, with full scope details in the attached solicitation document. Hancock County Schools in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school sites and a response date of June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted IFB BNB053266 on June 2, 2026, for commodities to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with responses due June 26, 2026 and submissions required through the OpenGov Procurement Portal. All school-nutrition solicitations enforce the Buy American provision requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content for processed products. Activity is sparse under this specific code; recent opportunities show dried fruits as subsidiary line items within multi-category food contracts rather than standalone procurements.
