UNSPSC 50352902: Frozen organic barhi or barhee dates

The variety of organic dates known as organic barhi or barhee dates that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50352902 Frozen organic barhi or barhee dates is a Commodity code that in practice rarely appears in state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting frozen dates, organic or otherwise. The code's nominal scope — specialty frozen fruits from the date palm — does not align with the actual commodity being purchased in the opportunities posted under this code designation. The recent records show school districts and municipalities soliciting comprehensive grocery, frozen food, fresh produce, and food service contracts that span hundreds of line items across proteins, grains, dairy, vegetables, and prepared entrees, but no evidence that frozen dates are specifically included or prioritized in any of these procurements. The mismatch between the code name and the actual purchases suggests that this code either receives minimal state and local tagging or that opportunities tagged to it do not represent the commodity's true procurement volume.

No meaningful geographic or issuing-body analysis is supported by relevant recent activity for this code. The available opportunities — from school districts in Connecticut, Georgia, and Missouri, and from municipalities and state purchasing offices — are wide-ranging in scope but do not substantiate demand for frozen organic barhi dates as a line item. Bidders evaluating this code should treat current activity as negligible and monitor for shifts in school nutrition procurement if specialty or organic frozen fruit categories begin to attract explicit solicitation language or dedicated line items in food service RFQs and IFBs.
