UNSPSC 50372900: Canned or jarred organic dates

The oblong edible fruit of a palm (phoenix dactylifera) that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50372900 Canned or jarred organic dates is a Class code. State and local governments rarely solicit specifically for organic dates; the recent procurement record shows no direct opportunities for this commodity. Recent opportunities coded under this Class span a much broader range of shelf-stable and processed food products — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, supplemental food and consumables for state facilities, cafeteria staples, and institutional food service — but organic dates do not appear among them. The code's abstract name does not align with the actual food procurement activity currently posted by state and local bodies.

The mismatch between the code definition and recent solicitation activity suggests this Class code is either underutilized for organic dates procurement or agencies are tagging broader food commodity buys with codes that capture general canned and jarred goods rather than the specific organic-dates category. No representative recent opportunities for organic dates exist in the record to evaluate geographic distribution, issuing-body mix, or pursuit viability under this code. Vendors targeting this Class should verify that state and local buyers are actually coding organic dates purchases under UNSPSC 50372900 before investing in qualification and outreach.
