UNSPSC 50352915: Frozen organic yatimeh dates

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

UNSPSC 50352915 Frozen organic yatimeh dates, a Commodity code, does not align with the actual procurement activity posted under it in recent state and local contracts. The recent opportunities tagged to this code consist entirely of school nutrition program solicitations for broad grocery and food service supply — fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and supplies — with no mention of frozen organic dates or specialty date products in any of the itemized scope documents. The sourcing bodies are school districts and one city procurement office acting on behalf of school nutrition services, spanning Georgia, Missouri, and Connecticut; the work is elementary commodity food supply for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, not specialty food procurement.

The nine recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Georgia school districts (Douglas County, Hancock County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County) and include solicitations from Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Representative recent procurements include the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026, the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts (estimated $4.4 million for Area One) due March 4, 2026, and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce with over 200 line items due June 26, 2026. All awards run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with pricing firm for the contract period and deliveries to multiple school sites. The code shows no relevant recent activity for frozen organic dates or specialty date products and appears to be a miscategorization at the source level.
