UNSPSC 50342913: Frozen mactoum dates

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

UNSPSC 50342913 Frozen mactoum dates, a Commodity code, describes specialty frozen fruit products that state and local governments procure as part of broader institutional food service operations—appearing in consolidated grocery and food supply bids alongside proteins, produce, dairy, and pantry staples rather than as standalone line items. The code sees limited direct activity; recent solicitations tag frozen fruit varieties (berries, tropical fruit blends) under broader food procurement, and the single named opportunity (frozen mactoum dates) does not appear in the recent state and local contract block, suggesting minimal standalone procurement volume for this specific commodity.

State and local food service procurement—particularly school districts, state health and human services agencies, and county facilities—dominates the grocery and food supply space overall. Recent opportunities span Texas Health and Human Services Commission bids for state hospital and supported living center food (IFB HHS0017660 and HHS0017449, both covering September 2026 through August 2027), multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education, Rockwood School District in Missouri, Fulton County Schools in Georgia, Head Start of Greater Dallas, and the Oregon Department of Corrections. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (at least eight recent school district solicitations) and Texas (state-level institutional food), with secondary activity in Connecticut, Missouri, California, Oregon, and Florida. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state departments of health and human services; school nutrition programs consistently drive volume through multi-hundred-line-item RFPs and IFBs with firm pricing for twelve-month terms, typically requesting responses by early to mid-2026 for July 1, 2026 contract start dates. The UNSPSC code itself appears misaligned with actual procurement activity—no recent opportunity explicitly names mactoum dates, and frozen fruit procurement occurs within consolidated grocery bids rather than as isolated specialty commodity awards.
