UNSPSC 50372907: Canned or jarred organic hilali dates

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

UNSPSC 50372907 Canned or jarred organic hilali dates, Commodity, reflects sparse recent state and local procurement activity; the code shows little relevant recent activity, as recent opportunities tagged under it consist of canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, general food supply contracts, and fresh produce rather than organic hilali dates themselves. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitations suggests this Commodity code does not represent a distinct procurement category in current state and local buying patterns.

Recent opportunities under this code span school districts, state corrections departments, state health agencies, and county boards of education across multiple states including Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri, though the products actually being purchased—canned fruits, fresh produce, and miscellaneous food supplies for institutional food service—diverge substantially from the code's specific description. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case and a 10% combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preference; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables under IFB HHS0016792 (reissued as HHS0016792V2) with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years and encompassing 210 line items of institutional food products statewide; and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System issued Bid 26-34 on March 22, 2026, for 72 fresh produce items with estimated annual quantities reaching 21,125 cases for Fuji apples. School nutrition programs represent the bulk of issuing bodies, with smaller volumes from state agencies operating correctional facilities, health facilities, and supported living centers. Geographic concentration is diffuse, with significant activity in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri, and activity also recorded in Connecticut, Illinois, and other states. Bidders pursuing this code should note that the actual procurement is institutional food service broadly rather than a specialty organic product line, and success requires experience with large-volume food distribution, USDA compliance and Buy American certifications, commercial liability insurance ranging from $1 million to $2 million per occurrence, FOB destination delivery terms, and firm-fixed pricing structures often with restrictions on fuel surcharges and mid-contract adjustments.
