UNSPSC 50332916: Dried organic zahidi dates

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

UNSPSC 50332916 Dried organic zahidi dates is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local procurement records show no solicitations specifically for dried zahidi dates or any dried date products. The code nominally identifies a single specialized dried-fruit commodity, but the sourcing activity captured in recent opportunities reflects broad fresh and processed food procurement across school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and institutional food service operations that does not align with this narrow commodity classification.

School districts in Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia dominate recent activity in the broader dried and fresh fruit category, issuing IFBs and RFPs for master grocery contracts, fresh produce supply, and comprehensive food-service distribution covering hundreds of line items per solicitation—but dried zahidi dates do not appear as a line item in any of the recent records. The County of Santa Clara issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 in January 2026 for dried fruits and nuts to supply correctional food services, which included dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix but not zahidi dates. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and state education agencies procure dried fruits as part of larger commodity baskets, but procurement records do not identify zahidi dates specifically. This code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the commodity's specificity and the institutional procurement landscape suggests that zahidi dates, if purchased at all by state and local bodies, are incorporated into broader food-service awards rather than solicited as a standalone line item.
