UNSPSC 50342910: Frozen khustawi dates

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

UNSPSC 50342910 Frozen khustawi dates, a Commodity code, does not map to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's specific product — frozen dates of the khustawi variety — does not appear in any of the posted opportunities reviewed. State and local governments procuring under food-service codes in the same family are buying broad grocery and food-service products: frozen vegetables, frozen berries and fruit, fresh produce, ice cream and frozen novelties, dried fruits and nuts, eggs, dairy, proteins, bread, pantry staples, and consumables for school nutrition programs, institutional food service at state hospitals and correctional facilities, Head Start child care, and emergency assistance food distribution. The opportunities tagged to higher-order family codes (such as grocery items, frozen foods, food supply and distribution) encompass hundreds of line items across multiple categories; khustawi dates, if procured at all under state and local food service, would represent a narrow specialty item within a vastly broader sourcing strategy.

The issuing bodies soliciting food-service work are school districts (Fulton County Schools in Georgia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Henry County Schools in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, New Jersey Department of Human Services), county correctional and social services departments (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office), and Head Start organizations. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, Missouri, New Jersey, California, and Oregon. No posted solicitation references frozen khustawi dates or similar specialty date products; the code shows no current demand signal in the state and local marketplace.
