UNSPSC 50342907: Frozen hilali dates

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

UNSPSC 50342907 Frozen hilali dates (Commodity) does not align with observable state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific frozen date product, but recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not purchase frozen hilali dates; instead, they solicit broad-based institutional grocery and food-service products spanning proteins, produce, dairy, frozen vegetables, pantry staples, and consumables for state hospitals, supported living centers, school districts, parks and recreation facilities, and child-care programs.

Activity under this code is fragmented across multiple issuing bodies—primarily Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) for state hospitals and living centers, followed by county boards of education (Georgia, New Jersey), state departments of corrections, municipalities, and Head Start agencies. The geographic spread covers Texas (dominant), Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Florida, and New Jersey. Representative recent opportunities include Texas HHS IFB HHS0017338 for frozen food products across multiple state facilities (posted July 2026, $9 million estimated annual volume); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items to the Department of Community Services (IWQ posted October 2026, due October 19, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce bid for school year 2027 (IFB #SN002-2027, posted June 2026, due June 26, 2026); and Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for frozen foods, produce, and meat under CACFP requirements (posted June 2026, estimated value $969,460.94). The code appears to be a tagging artifact rather than a precise match to procurement intent—business development professionals pursuing this code should treat it as a misfiled or overly narrow classification and instead track broader institutional food and grocery solicitations in their target markets.
