UNSPSC 50362913: Canned or jarred mactoum dates

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

UNSPSC 50362913 Canned or jarred mactoum dates, a Commodity code, sees virtually no recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for this specific product. Instead, the tagged opportunities span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, general food commodities for institutional food service, and school nutrition supply contracts—none of which align with mactoum dates as a distinct line item or commodity class. The code's nominal scope (preserved fruit in sealed containers) differs materially from what state and local governments are actually buying under the associated opportunities, which focus on broader food categories and fresh or processed produce staples rather than specialty date products.

No current market activity supports pursuing this code. State and local food procurement at the school district, corrections, health services, and institutional nutrition level concentrates on high-volume staples—fresh produce, proteins, canned fruit (applesauce, not dates), eggs, dairy, and prepared entrees—where competitive bidding and commodity pricing drive contract awards. Mactoum dates, if procured at all, would likely be a minor line item within a broader grocery or specialty foods solicitation rather than a standalone commodity bid. Until a recent opportunity explicitly names mactoum dates or canned date products as a procurement line, this code should be monitored as inactive for business development purposes.
