UNSPSC 50352907: Frozen organic hilali dates

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

UNSPSC 50352907 Frozen organic hilali dates is a Commodity code that addresses a narrow product category within school nutrition procurement, though the recent state and local opportunities do not show solicitations specifically for frozen organic hilali dates. Instead, the recent activity under this code reflects broader school nutrition procurement for frozen foods, fresh produce, and grocery items that support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance across multiple jurisdictions. School districts, boards of education, and city procurement offices are the primary issuing bodies, all operating under USDA Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products, stringent whole-grain and sodium specifications, and HACCP plan compliance with 24/7 food recall accessibility. Vendors must carry general liability and products liability insurance (typically $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate), comply with state E-Verify authorization, provide comprehensive nutritional labeling and product formulation statements, and accept firm fixed pricing for contract terms ranging from one to multiple years, with deliveries made Monday through Friday to central warehouses and individual school sites on prepaid freight basis without separate fuel surcharges.

The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with solicitations from Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and the City Schools of Decatur, alongside activity in Connecticut (City of Bridgeport) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026; the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for over 200 fresh-produce line items (including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty items) due June 26, 2026; the City Schools of Decatur IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with a May 15, 2026 deadline; the Rockwood R-VI School District electronic bid for over 900 grocery line items due April 29, 2026; and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with proposals due March 4, 2026 and estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million. All contracts run July 1 through June 30 of the following year with extension and renewal options at school district discretion.
