UNSPSC 50322916: Dried zahidi dates

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

UNSPSC 50322916 Dried zahidi dates is a Commodity code representing a single-product line within the broader food procurement activities of state and local governments. However, the recent opportunities block contains no active solicitations specifically for dried zahidi dates or dried dates of any kind. The one dated reference to dried fruit procurement—Santa Clara County's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts to supply a correctional facility—includes dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix but not dates. The code shows minimal or no relevant recent state and local procurement activity.

The broader context of the opportunities block reveals extensive school nutrition and institutional food service procurement activity across school districts, state departments, and county governments in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, and California, with solicitations for fresh produce, cafeteria staples, grocery items, and dried-fruit assortments. None of these solicitations identify dried zahidi dates as a line item or procurement need. A business development professional evaluating this UNSPSC code should treat it as a low-signal category for current state and local opportunities and prioritize market segments aligned with active institutional food service solicitations where dates, if procured at all, would appear as a secondary item within broader fresh or dried-fruit categories.
