UNSPSC 50352916: Frozen organic zahidi dates

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

UNSPSC 50352916 Frozen organic zahidi dates (Commodity) represents a niche food ingredient category that sees minimal direct solicitation activity in state and local procurement. Recent opportunities tagged under this code show that state and local governments actually purchase general shelf-stable and fresh food products for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service — not frozen zahidi dates specifically. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners sought 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, and pasta for senior services; the City of Bridgeport sought over 1,100 line items of grocery goods for school meals; Hancock County Schools sought 200+ line items of fresh produce; Early County Schools sought 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies; and the State of Georgia posted a broad food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation. None of these recent opportunities specifically named frozen organic zahidi dates, and the code's nominal scope does not align with the mixed commodity purchasing that dominates the recent activity block.

The recent activity spans Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Early County, and the state purchasing office) and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), with school districts and county governments as the primary issuing bodies. The opportunities posted between May and October 2026, with response dates ranging from June 8 through October 19, 2026. Given the mismatch between the code's narrow commodity definition and the broad institutional food procurement reflected in recent opportunities, this code shows little relevant activity for vendors focused on frozen organic zahidi dates specifically. Pursuit under this code is unlikely to yield relevant state and local opportunities; vendors should monitor broader food service and institutional purchasing codes if they stock commodity grocery items or produce for schools and government agencies.
