UNSPSC 50342902: Frozen barhi or barhee dates

The variety of dates known as barhi or barhee dates that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50342902 Frozen barhi or barhee dates, a Commodity code, has no recent state and local procurement activity directly soliciting this product. The recent opportunities posted under this code span generic groceries, school nutrition programs, fresh produce, frozen foods, and correctional facility food service, but none specifically name frozen dates or barhi/barhee varieties as line items.

The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity scope and the broad procurement activity tagged to it reflects a classification issue in state and local systems — issuing bodies are using this date-specific code as a general-purpose grocery or food-supply tag rather than for date procurement itself. School districts, state health and human services agencies, and correctional facilities dominate the tagged opportunities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Head Start of Greater Dallas, Fulton County Schools, and Santa Clara County Correction), spanning Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Missouri, and California. Opportunities include fresh-produce contracts (Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), frozen-food and grocery buys (City Schools of Decatur, Early County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District), and specialized items like ice cream and dried fruits (Fulton County Schools, Santa Clara County). None of these solicitations list frozen dates among their line items, suggesting the code assignment does not reflect actual procurement need. If pursuing work in school nutrition or institutional food service, focus on the broader frozen-food and fresh-produce categories where genuine state and local demand is active; frozen-date procurement under this code does not appear to be an immediate opportunity.
