UNSPSC 50332908: Dried organic khadrawi/khadrawy dates

The variety of organic dates known as organic khadrawi/khadrawy dates that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50332908 Dried organic khadrawi/khadrawy dates (Commodity) describes specialty dried fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food services. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show activity across school districts and correctional facilities purchasing dried fruit as components of broader food-service contracts rather than as standalone commodity procurements. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (such as Hancock County Schools in Georgia), city education departments (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments and agencies (Georgia state food procurement, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and statewide procurement divisions acting on behalf of state agencies. The work involves responding to IFBs and RFQs for institutional food supplies where dried fruit items such as prunes and dates appear alongside fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees on itemized line-item bids.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year with delivery to three school sites. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) posted an electronic bid on June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for 115 line items of commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center through June 30, 2027. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued an IFB on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice on May 4, 2026, covering approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products for delivery to six warehouse locations across five geographic areas, with the contract term extending through August 31, 2027. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice also issued a prior solicitation for whole pitted dried prunes in February 2026 (Bid No. IW236532) in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count size, minimum 1,400 boxes. All solicitations require Buy American compliance with minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products, HACCP or equivalent food-safety documentation, and firm fixed pricing through the contract term.
