UNSPSC 50332905: Dried organic gundila dates

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

UNSPSC 50332905 Dried organic gundila dates is a Commodity code that captures specialized dried fruit products sourced for institutional food service operations. State and local procurement under this code focuses on bulk dried fruit supply for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-managed food services. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies purchasing dried fruit as components within broader fresh and processed produce contracts, though the specific gundila date variety appears rarely in standalone opportunities; more commonly, school nutrition programs and corrections departments procure dried prunes, dried vegetables, and other shelf-stable produce items alongside fresh produce and frozen proteins under consolidated food-service RFQs and IFBs. Issuing bodies include county school boards, city boards of education, state departments of criminal justice, and state procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies. School districts dominate the recent activity, with nutrition centers requiring HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items), and delivery to multiple school sites under fixed-price contracts running through June 30, 2027.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce covering over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026, requiring delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center under IFB BNB053266, also due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items with Net 45 payment terms and MBE/CBE certifications applicable. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procured through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items across five geographic areas with response due May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2), and a separate IFB No. IW236532 for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality with 1,400-box minimum order for the Corpus location. School nutrition contracts typically impose firm fixed pricing for the full contract year, require 30-day payment terms, and mandate compliance with the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act Buy American requirements.
