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, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity under its literal scope, with state and local procurement offices instead using this classification—or nearby dried-fruit codes—to solicit broad food-service categories that encompass dried fruits as line items within larger produce or grocery bundles rather than as standalone specialty items. Recent opportunities tagged with this code or adjacent dried-fruit classifications reflect school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and institutional food service sourcing fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, proteins, and staple groceries on annual contracts; dried fruits and nuts appear as discrete line items (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blends, walnuts, pecans) within multi-category food procurements, not as category-defining solicitations. The issuing bodies are school districts (elementary through high school nutrition programs), county boards of education, state departments (Georgia, Texas), and special purpose or county agencies (correctional facilities); activity is dominated by K–12 school nutrition and institutional food service, with requests flowing through both traditional sealed-bid and e-procurement portals (Bonfire, OpenGov, NUTRIKIDS, Ariba).

The geographic footprint clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, with multiple school districts in Liberty County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Hancock County) and extends to Texas (TDCJ correctional food service), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and California (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office correctional facility); the heaviest recent concentration is Georgia school districts and Texas state criminal justice food procurement. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition IFB for 200+ fresh-produce line items due June 26, 2026; City of Bridgeport Connecticut food commodities IFB due June 26, 2026; Santa Clara County ITB for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, walnuts, pecans) for correctional food service due February 5, 2026; and Douglas County School System RFP for main-line food supply and distribution (estimated $9 million annually) due February 18, 2026. Buy American provisions, HACCP or food-safety compliance, USDA grade certification, and firm fixed pricing for the full contract term appear in all recent solicitations; delivery windows are typically Monday–Friday with lead times of 7–15 days, and payment terms range from Net 30 to Net 45 days. Contract terms run one year (July–June) with renewal options, and awards are commonly split across multiple vendors by line item or delivery zone.
