UNSPSC 50362910: Canned or jarred khustawi dates

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

UNSPSC 50362910 Canned or jarred khustawi dates is a Commodity code under which state and local governments rarely procure dates specifically; the recent opportunities block shows no activity targeting this code's nominal scope. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, multiple school districts, and other state and local bodies have posted food procurement solicitations tagged with this code, but the actual goods being bid are canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and mixed grocery and food-service items—none of which are khustawi dates or date products. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact in state and local procurement systems rather than a live procurement category for the commodity it nominally describes.

Recent opportunities spanning January through July 2026 show heavy activity in canned and fresh fruit, produce, eggs, and broad food-supply contracts across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and other jurisdictions, but this activity does not align with khustawi date procurement. School districts, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and school nutrition programs are the primary issuing bodies, and they solicit under ITB, RFP, and RFQ vehicles with response dates typically 30–60 days out. The code shows no meaningful recent procurement signal for the commodity it names, making it unsuitable for business development focus without clarification of the underlying categorization error.
