UNSPSC 50352904: Frozen organic fardh dates

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

UNSPSC 50352904 Frozen organic fardh dates, a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent opportunity records show school districts and municipalities procuring comprehensive groceries, fresh produce, and food-service supplies to support National School Lunch Programs and child nutrition services—not specialty items such as frozen organic dates. The school districts issuing under this code (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Early County, Decatur, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County) are seeking primary vendors capable of delivering hundreds of line items including proteins, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments, and frozen staples. The scope reflects institutional food service procurement rather than organic specialty-produce sourcing.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and neighboring states, with recent solicitations from Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System, alongside requests from Connecticut (City of Bridgeport) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Recent representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 30, 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program, with electronic submission through OpenGov; Hancock County Schools' June 26, 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning 200 line items across multiple produce varieties; and Douglas County School System's RFP issued through the GEC Buying Cooperative (February 4 and January 21, 2026 due dates of March 4 and February 18, respectively) covering fresh produce, eggs, and main-line food distribution serving approximately 25,500 to 30 school districts with estimated annual expenditures of $4.4 million to $9 million. All school-district solicitations mandate firm fixed pricing, compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content where applicable), HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and general liability insurance in the range of $500,000 to $2 million.
