UNSPSC 50332906: Dried organic halawi/halawy dates

The variety of organic dates known as organic halawi/halawy dates that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50332906 Dried organic halawi/halawy dates is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a single dried-fruit product line, yet the recent state and local procurement activity tagged to it does not reflect dried-date purchasing. Instead, the code shows five recent opportunities spanning fresh produce, cafeteria food products, and dried prunes — none of which are dried organic dates. School districts, state departments, and state criminal justice agencies are the primary issuing bodies using this code designation, but the actual scope of work being solicited encompasses broad fresh and processed food supply for institutional food service operations, including proteins, dairy, grains, canned goods, and fresh produce spanning hundreds of line items per solicitation.

The geographic spread includes Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appearing twice in the recent record — once for a statewide cafeteria food products IFB (response due May 4, 2026) and once for a prunes procurement (bid opening date February 20, 2026). Hancock County Schools in Georgia posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school facilities and a response deadline of June 26, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center under an electronic IFB with responses due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products. The State of Georgia also posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products IFB with a response due date of June 22, 2026. All school district and state education opportunities carry Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products. This code shows misalignment between its nominal commodity definition and actual purchasing activity; dried organic halawi dates do not appear in any of the recent opportunities, suggesting either classification error in tagging or minimal recent demand for this specific product under state and local procurement.
