UNSPSC 50332912: Dried organic medjool/medjul dates

The variety of organic dates known as organic medjool/medjul dates that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50332912 Dried organic medjool/medjul dates (Commodity) represents a narrow, specialized product category that state and local governments buy primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. The code's recent solicitation activity shows that school districts and state corrections agencies procure dried dates as part of broader fresh produce and commodity food contracts serving cafeterias and nutrition centers, though dried dates themselves appear as a discrete line item rather than as the primary focus of the procurement. Hancock County Schools (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice all issued commodity food solicitations during May–June 2026 that encompassed dried dates within larger fresh produce or institutional food supply contracts. The work involves meeting USDA grade requirements, providing HACCP plans or equivalent food safety documentation, complying with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products where applicable), delivering on firm fixed pricing with transportation prepaid, and maintaining backup stock for emergency fulfillment. School districts and state agencies are the primary issuing bodies; no private foodservice operators or municipalities outside the education and corrections sectors appear in the recent record.

Activity clusters in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with the most granular recent opportunity being Hancock County Schools' IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), which specified over 200 line items across produce categories and delivered to three school locations with a contract term through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut issued a broader commodities IFB (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026) covering 115 line items for the Nutrition Center; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026 via Addendum No. 2) for approximately 382 cafeteria food line items across five geographic areas and multiple warehouse locations. The State of Georgia issued a food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) with detailed scope contained in an attached document. A separate TDCJ solicitation (IW236532, due February 20, 2026) specifically targeted whole pitted dried prunes in 60–70 count size at U.S. Grade B quality with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for the Corpus location, suggesting dried fruits are bought as discrete commodity items within larger institutional food procurement frameworks.
