UNSPSC 50332909: Dried organic khalas dates

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

UNSPSC 50332909 Dried organic khalas dates is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely solicit dried organic dates directly under this code; the recent opportunities in the block show school nutrition programs and corrections departments procuring fresh produce, cafeteria staples, and dried fruit (prunes) as line items within broader food commodity RFPs and IFBs, but dried organic khalas dates do not appear as a named procurement in any recent solicitation. The code does not match the work being actively bought.

The available records show dried fruit and fresh produce procurement concentrated among school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state corrections agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and a state food commodity procurement (Georgia). These are school nutrition and institutional foodservice contracts spanning fresh apples, berries, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and miscellaneous dry goods—categories far broader than a single dried date variety. The one dried-fruit specific solicitation (Bid No. IW236532, issued by TDCJ in April 2026) called for whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, with a due date of February 20, 2026, not khalas dates. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut based on the recent postings, but the code shows no evidence of active market demand for dried organic khalas dates at state and local levels. Practitioners should verify whether buyers are coding dried dates differently or sourcing them through broader cooperative purchasing vehicles rather than direct institutional solicitation.
