UNSPSC 50342915: Frozen yatimeh dates

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

UNSPSC 50342915 Frozen yatimeh dates, a Commodity code, maps poorly to actual state and local procurement activity. The source contains no solicitations specifically requesting frozen yatimeh dates; instead, recent opportunities under this code tag span broad grocery procurement for institutional food service — including frozen fruits, dried fruits, produce, proteins, and pantry staples for state hospitals, school districts, correctional facilities, and child care programs across multiple states. The code nomenclature does not reflect the heterogeneous food-service scope being solicited, suggesting either a tagging error in the underlying opportunity records or a code that captures frozen date varieties as a subcategory within wider food commodity buys that are not organized around dates as a primary line item.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Hancock County and Bulloch County boards of education in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia; Fulton County Schools in Georgia; Henry County Schools in Georgia; Early County Board of Education in Georgia; City Schools of Decatur in Georgia; Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and state supported living centers), county governments (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department of Correction in California; Hancock County in Georgia), and nonprofit child care programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Recent opportunities span the South and Midwest, with particular density in Georgia school nutrition procurements, Texas institutional food service, and scattered activity in California, Connecticut, Florida, and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026, approximately $32,226 baseline annual spend), the City of Bridgeport's IFB for grocery items supporting school lunch and breakfast programs (due June 30, 2026, over 1,100 line items with Buy American and HHFKA nutrition compliance), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ apple, berry, and vegetable varieties (bids due June 26, 2026). None of these solicitations isolates frozen dates as a distinct procurement focus; dates appear, if at all, as minor components within comprehensive frozen-fruit or specialty-food buys.
