UNSPSC 50342908: Frozen khadrawi/khadrawy dates

The variety of dates known as khadrawi/khadrawy dates that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50342908 Frozen khadrawi/khadrawy dates is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code is too narrowly specified—a single date varietal—to align with the grocery and food service bidding actually occurring in the state and local market. Recent solicitations under related UNSPSC codes span broad categories of frozen and fresh produce, meats, dairy, grains, and institutional food service supplies, but none of the opportunities posted over the past six months specifically name khadrawi or khadrawy dates as a line item or procurement focus.

State and local buyers active in frozen fruit procurement—including Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities, school districts across Georgia, Florida, and other states, and county corrections departments—are sourcing frozen berries (blueberries, strawberries, Marion berries), mixed frozen vegetables, and commodity dried fruits, but specialized date varieties do not appear in the IFB, RFP, or IFQ notices in the current pipeline. This code would be relevant only to vendors positioned to supply institutional food service operations with specialty frozen fruits meeting USDA or CACFP nutrition standards; however, the absence of recent solicitations under this specific commodity suggests minimal near-term pursuit opportunity unless bundled within broader frozen fruit or specialty food line items that absorb the date specification within larger product families. Vendors should monitor broader frozen produce and specialty foods categories (UNSPSC 50340000 and related Family codes) for institutional food service opportunities instead.
