UNSPSC 50372905: Canned or jarred organic gundila dates

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

UNSPSC 50372905 Canned or jarred organic gundila dates is a Commodity code nominally identifying a narrow product line, but recent state and local activity shows virtually no solicitations under this code that actually seek gundila dates or organic preserved dates. The most recent opportunities tagged with this code overwhelmingly solicit canned and jarred fruits—applesauce, pears, produce items—and fresh groceries for institutional food service, spanning school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and state hospitals. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Dallas Independent School District), state departments and correction agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and city boards of education (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education). The code appears to be a catch-all or misfiled category for preserved fruit procurement rather than a demand signal for the specific commodity named.

Geographically, the recent activity concentrates in the South and Southwest: Georgia (Douglas County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Hancock County), Texas (Dallas, El Paso, statewide HHSC and TDCJ facilities), Connecticut, and Oregon, with additional activity in Virginia (Fairfax County) and Missouri (Rockwood). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with 4,760 cases at approximately $21.84 per case under a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-vendor preference; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, covering multiple NIGP food-service categories with a historical value of $1.5 million annually; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services due February 18, 2026, supporting approximately 32,000 meals daily with an estimated annual expenditure of $9 million. This code shows active institutional food procurement but carries significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual sourcing patterns, suggesting business development focus should track recent fruit and grocery opportunities rather than expect gundila-date-specific demand.
