UNSPSC 50352901: Frozen organic asharasi dates

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

UNSPSC 50352901 Frozen organic asharasi dates is a Commodity code that in practice captures shelf-stable and specialty food items purchased by state and local education, social services, and nutrition agencies — though the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for frozen dates specifically. Instead, state and local governments currently buy this code as part of broader food procurement under general grocery, produce, and nutrition-support contracts. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 IWQ 140229 purchase of approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services, and the Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 grocery contract spanning over 1,100 line items across breakfast, frozen products, and condiments, exemplify the mix of products typically bundled under this taxonomy. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix — Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Bridgeport Board of Education all posted related bids in the past six months — alongside county social-services departments and state-level procurement offices. These buyers typically consolidate specialty and shelf-stable items into line-item bids rather than soliciting individual products separately.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools, and Gwinnett County all posted bids in June and October 2026 for nutrition contracts; the City of Bridgeport Board of Education posted its grocery contract in June 2026 with a response date of June 30, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products bid (PE55645NONST2026000000009) due June 22, 2026, though the full scope is contained in an attachment not detailed in the summary. School nutrition contracts uniformly require compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items), HACCP plans, product labeling and nutritional compliance, and delivery within specified windows — typically Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Awards generally go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with many jurisdictions reserving the right to split awards by line item or contract with multiple vendors. Vendors must provide references, liability insurance, and E-Verify compliance documentation; payment terms typically run Net 30 to Net 45 days.
