UNSPSC 50332915: Dried organic yatimeh dates

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

UNSPSC 50332915 Dried organic yatimeh dates is a Commodity code that represents a narrow food product category with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities in the data show school districts and state agencies soliciting fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and dried fruits for nutrition centers and institutional food service, but only one solicitation—a Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for prunes—aligns with dried fruit procurement, and none specifically target yatimeh dates. The code's scope encompasses specialty dried date varieties for institutional kitchens, but the recent opportunities block demonstrates that state and local buyers are pursuing these items as individual line items within broader food commodities RFPs and IFBs rather than as standalone specialty-product solicitations.

The issuing bodies soliciting under related food commodity codes include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Georgia and Texas), and criminal-justice facilities (Texas TDCJ). Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut based on recent solicitations posted between April and June 2026. Representative opportunities include the Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ line items of fresh and specialty produce for school delivery, the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases commodities IFB (due June 26, 2026) for 115 line items serving the Board of Education Nutrition Center, and the Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum) covering approximately 382 line items across proteins, grains, dairy, and specialty foods across five geographic distribution areas. The Texas TDCJ prunes procurement (Bid IW236532, originally due February 20, 2026) represents the closest match to dried-fruit purchasing, requiring U.S. Grade B whole pitted prunes in 60-70 count size with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes. All school nutrition opportunities require Buy American compliance with 51 percent domestic content for processed products. Yatimeh dates as a specialty imported item would face significant domestic-sourcing restrictions under these procurement rules.
