UNSPSC 50322915: Dried yatimeh dates

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

UNSPSC 50322915 Dried yatimeh dates is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged with this code show no purchasing of dried yatimeh dates or even generic dried dates. One opportunity—the County of Santa Clara's procurement for dried fruits and nuts to serve a correctional facility—includes dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix but does not name dates as a line item. The remaining opportunities span school district and state nutrition programs soliciting fresh produce, grocery items, prepared foods, and other staple categories, none of which reference dates or yatimeh-specific products. The code appears to serve an extremely narrow commodity niche within state and local procurement, if any active procurement exists for this specific dried-fruit variety.

The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity definition and the broader fresh-produce and grocery solicitations currently posted under it suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or minimal actual demand for dried yatimeh dates as a distinct line item. School districts and correctional facilities in Georgia, California, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia are actively purchasing fresh and processed produce, nuts, and dried fruits through RFP, IFB, and ITB processes, but dried yatimeh dates do not appear as a named category or line item in any of the recent opportunities available. No geographic concentration, issuing-body repeat pattern, or representative procurement volume can be identified from the source material.
