UNSPSC 50352909: Frozen organic khalas dates

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

UNSPSC 50352909 Frozen organic khalas dates is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line, yet state and local governments procuring under this specific code are primarily school districts and city education departments sourcing grocery and food-service items for child nutrition programs. While the code nominally identifies a single specialty product—frozen organic khalas dates—the recent solicitations tagged with this code reveal procurement activity centered on broad grocery and fresh-produce bundling for school cafeterias, with frozen and ambient-temperature products, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods all included in the same RFP or IFB notices. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia serving as administrator for a multi-district cooperative), one city education department (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and the State of Georgia procurement office. School Nutrition Program contracts dominate the recent-opportunity block, with deliveries to central warehouses and individual school sites, firm pricing over twelve-month terms, HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content, and no separate fuel surcharges permitted.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia (where Hancock County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County have all issued solicitations since February 2026), with secondary activity in Connecticut (City of Bridgeport, June 2026) and Missouri (Rockwood School District, April 2026). Representative recent 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 sealed electronic bids due June 30, 2026 through OpenGov; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 fresh-produce line items with bids due June 26, 2026 and award anticipated to one or multiple vendors; and Rockwood R-VI School District's April 29, 2026 electronic-bid solicitation for over 900 line items across grocery, snack, produce, dairy, meat, and condiment categories with contracts anticipated to commence July 1, 2026. The source does not identify khalas dates as a line item in any of the recent solicitations, suggesting that the code assignment may reflect administrative tagging error rather than active state and local procurement demand for this specific frozen product.
