UNSPSC 50362903: Canned or jarred deglet noor dates

The variety of dates known as deglet noor dates that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50362903 Canned or jarred deglet noor dates, a Commodity code, describes preserved dried fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service—primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health and human services operations. Recent solicitations under this code reveal that issuing bodies are acquiring canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and broader food commodity categories for cafeteria and food service operations, with the code functioning as a catch-all classification for shelf-stable fruit products in institutional procurement. The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education, and multiple others), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), and county/municipal nutrition programs (Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center). School districts represent the dominant buyer segment, with food service procurement appearing across elementary, middle, and high school networks serving thousands of students daily.

Geographic activity spans multiple states including Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with particular concentration in school districts across the Southeast and institutional buyers nationwide. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) seeking 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at historical pricing of $21.84 per case with 5% Oregon-goods and Oregon-resident preferences applied; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps delivered to central warehouse; Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) covering food and consumable products with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; and Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce spanning 200 line items across multiple fruit varieties with three-location delivery and Buy American requirements mandating 51% domestic content in processed products. Pricing structures typically mandate firm, fixed unit rates with FOB destination delivery prepaid, delivery within 45–60 days of order, and compliance with USDA commodity specifications, Buy American provisions, and food safety certifications including HACCP plans and shelf-life minimums.
