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 that captures procurement of specialty dried fruit products by state and local educational and correctional institutions. However, the recent opportunities posted under this code show minimal direct alignment with khalas dates specifically; instead, the activity reflects broader dried fruit, fresh produce, and general food service procurement driven primarily by school districts and state correctional systems. Recent solicitations under or near this code include school nutrition programs seeking fresh and dried produce, dried fruits and nuts for correctional facilities, and comprehensive food supply contracts for K-12 districts — indicating that state and local buyers use this code or related classifications for dried fruit line items within larger food service acquisitions rather than as a standalone commodity purchase.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent opportunities from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Douglas County School System (Georgia); correctional and detention food services represent a secondary segment, as evidenced by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement and Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with secondary presence in Virginia, Missouri, Texas, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB (Solicitation PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 produce line items for delivery to three school sites; Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts (ITB-PRC-FY260617, due February 5, 2026) requiring dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans for the Elmwood Correctional Facility; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's cafeteria food products IFB (304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) encompassing approximately 382 line items including dried and fresh items for multiple warehouse locations. These acquisitions typically run annual or multi-year contract terms with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, USDA grade or nutritional specifications, and weekly or scheduled deliveries to multiple school or institutional sites.
