UNSPSC 50332907: Dried organic hilali dates

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

UNSPSC 50332907 Dried organic hilali dates is a Commodity code representing dried fruit products purchased by state and local school districts and correctional agencies. State and local governments buy dried dates and similar shelf-stable dried fruits as part of institutional food procurement for nutrition programs, typically as components of broader commodity food buys rather than standalone line items. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (county boards of education), state purchasing offices on behalf of state agencies such as departments of criminal justice, and municipal procurement offices managing school nutrition contracts. The scope of activity shows dates and dried fruits being procured as part of larger food commodity solicitations covering proteins, dairy, grains, canned vegetables, fresh produce, and miscellaneous staple items required to supply cafeteria operations and institutional food distribution networks.

Recent opportunities appear concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with supporting activity in Connecticut and the broader Southeast. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items across five geographic warehouse areas, with responses due May 4, 2026 on an FOB Destination, firm fixed-price basis to six distribution points; the contract runs through August 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals. The State of Georgia requested bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products (solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009) with a due date of June 22, 2026. Hancock County Schools in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with responses due June 26, 2026, requiring delivery to three school locations and a one-year contract term beginning July 1, 2026.

All school nutrition procurements enforce the Buy American provision requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content in processed products, and several jurisdictions apply MBE/CBE preferences or certifications.
