UNSPSC 50322914: Dried neghal dates

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

UNSPSC 50322914 Dried neghal dates is a Commodity code that encompasses dried date products procured by state and local educational and correctional institutions for food service operations. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts and county correctional facilities serving nutrition programs at scale. Recent solicitations show school districts acquiring dried fruit products—including dates, raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mixes—as components of broader fresh produce, grocery, and food supply contracts that support child nutrition programs across elementary, middle, and high schools. Dried fruits appear alongside fresh produce, proteins, grains, and prepared foods in comprehensive annual food service contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Georgia and California counties also procuring dried fruit products for correctional facilities. The code shows activity across educational foodservice procurement conducted through sealed IFBs and RFPs with annual contract cycles tied to school years running July through June.

Recent activity centers on Georgia school systems and California county corrections. The County of Santa Clara issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 in January 2026 for dried fruits and nuts including raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix to supply the Elmwood Correctional Facility, with responses due February 5, 2026; the contract specified 5,880 cases of dried raisins annually with pricing firm for Year 1 and optional increases capped at a specified percentage rate in Years 2–5. Multiple Georgia school districts—including Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System—solicited dried and fresh produce through sealed IFBs and RFPs between February and June 2026, with response dates ranging from March through June 2026; these district-level procurements typically bundle dried fruits within larger annual grocery and fresh produce contracts serving 25,000 to 32,000 students. Most recent school nutrition solicitations require Buy American compliance, USDA grade certifications, HACCP documentation, and firm fixed pricing for the contract year, with weekly or scheduled deliveries to multiple school sites and delivery charges included in vendor pricing.
