UNSPSC 50342905: Frozen gundila dates

The variety of dates known as gundila dates that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50342905 Frozen gundila dates is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal recent relevance to the nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting gundila dates or similar exotic frozen fruit products. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span broad school nutrition, correctional facility, and state agency food service procurement covering dozens or hundreds of line items each—frozen vegetables, fresh produce, ice cream, meat, dairy, and general grocery staples. The single opportunity that approaches specialized frozen fruit procurement (Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for frozen fruit berries in April 2026) specifies blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and Marion berries, not gundila dates. The code assignment appears to be a cataloging mismatch rather than a signal of active demand for gundila dates in state and local procurement.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (recurring buyer for state hospital and state supported living center food service), school districts across Georgia, Florida, Missouri, and other states (Rockwood R-VI, Henry County Schools, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, Bulloch County, Hancock County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, and Hillsborough County Public Schools), county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County, Oregon Department of Corrections), and Head Start agencies. Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast, Texas, and California, with activity spanning IFB, RFP, and ITB notice types issued between January and July 2026. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026, covering 110 line items of mixed food service supplies on a one-year blanket contract from September 2026 through August 2027), the City of Bridgeport's IFB for grocery items supporting the school lunch program (bids due June 30, 2026, spanning over 1,100 line items with Buy American requirements and school nutrition standards), and Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP for frozen foods, produce, and meat products supporting CACFP child care (bids due June 24, 2026, with estimated annual procurement value of $969,460.94). The code does not support meaningful pursuit targeting frozen gundila dates specifically; vendors in exotic frozen fruit should monitor school nutrition and institutional food service RFPs more broadly rather than rely on this code classification.
