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 within the broader food-supply market. State and local governments solicit under this code primarily as line items embedded within much larger food-procurement RFQs and IFBs that span shelf-stable and fresh products for school nutrition programs, county social services, and municipal food assistance. The actual work involves sourcing individual food commodities—including frozen specialty dates—as part of multi-hundred-line food contracts where vendors bid on unit pricing, meet nutritional standards (particularly USDA compliance and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act requirements for school districts), and commit to delivery schedules and product handling specifications. School districts, county boards of education, county departments of social services, and municipal purchasing offices dominate the issuing-body mix, with school districts appearing most frequently as they manage National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program procurement year-round.

Recent activity shows concentration in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items of fresh and specialty produce. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) released bids for over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, due electronically June 30, 2026, with Buy American Provision requirements (minimum 51% domestic agricultural ingredients) and blind laboratory testing at vendor expense. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) issued an informal written quote request for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services, due October 19, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026, with full scope in an attached document. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested line-by-line bids for 300+ food items plus non-food supplies under the National School Lunch Program, due June 8, 2026, with firm fixed pricing including packing and transportation and no fuel surcharges. Frozen khalas dates appear infrequently as standalone line items in state and local food solicitations; the code shows limited recent activity as a discrete procurement driver.
