UNSPSC 50352906: Frozen organic halawi/halawy dates

The variety of organic dates known as organic halawi/halawy dates that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50352906 Frozen organic halawi/halawy dates is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line — specifically frozen dates of a single variety — yet the recent solicitation activity under this code does not reflect procurement of that item. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut issued an IFB in June 2026 for over 1,100 grocery line items spanning breakfast cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, beverages, and meats to support the Bridgeport Board of Education's National School Lunch Program, with a response date of June 30, 2026. This mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited indicates that the code shows little relevant recent activity for frozen halawi dates specifically. State and local food service procurement in this space targets comprehensive grocery and produce bundles rather than discrete specialty items, and vendors pursuing work under this code should verify whether their frozen date products are genuinely needed under future school nutrition, institutional food service, or similar state and local RFPs or whether they belong in broader frozen-fruit or specialty-produce codes.

The geographic scope of recent activity under this code is limited to Connecticut based on the single identified opportunity. School districts and local education agencies across Georgia, Missouri, and other states have posted multiple RFPs and IFBs since January 2026 for fresh produce, frozen foods, and comprehensive grocery procurement — the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, the Rockwood R-VI School District, the City Schools of Decatur, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and the Douglas County School System among them — but none of these opportunities reference frozen organic dates as a line item or procurement focus. The absence of frozen-date solicitations across a robust pipeline of state and local food service contracts suggests limited current demand for this specific commodity in the state and local market.
