UNSPSC 50322913: Dried mactoum dates

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

UNSPSC 50322913 Dried mactoum dates is a Commodity code that currently sees minimal relevant state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers dried date varieties, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it are overwhelmingly for fresh produce, frozen and canned foods, proteins, dairy, and grains—the full spectrum of school nutrition and correctional-facility food services—with only one procurement (Santa Clara County's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts) tangentially addressing dried fruit products at all. School districts and correctional agencies dominate the issuing bodies across the recent opportunities, with solicitations from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Georgia state government, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood School District (Missouri), Liberty County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Schools (Georgia), Douglas County Schools (Georgia), and Santa Clara County's detention facility. The geographic spread runs across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Virginia, Missouri, and California, reflecting national school-meal procurement activity rather than concentration in any single region.

Representative recent opportunities show the actual procurement focus: Hancock County Schools' June 2026 IFB solicits fresh produce across 200+ line items—apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, and specialty items—for delivery to three school sites with bids due June 26, 2026; Rockwood School District's April 2026 solicitation encompasses over 900 grocery line items including snacks, fruits, vegetables, meats, and prepared entrees for the 2026-27 school year; and Santa Clara County's February 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, pecans) to the Department of Correction—Elmwood Facility represents the only solicitation substantively aligned with the code's dried-fruit scope, with bids due February 5, 2026. The code shows no concentration of activity in mactoum dates specifically or dried date products generally in state and local procurement, with school nutrition and food-service contracting driving volume under related commodity codes rather than this narrow classification.
