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) covers shelf-stable packaged fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show the code captures a broader scope than the narrow product name suggests: state and local buyers are actually purchasing canned and jarred fruit items including applesauce, dried fruit bars, and mixed preserved fruits alongside organic date products, all destined for cafeteria operations, food pantries, and congregate meal programs. The issuing bodies include state departments (Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas), county boards of education and commissioners (Hancock County Georgia, Gwinnett County Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD Texas), municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport Connecticut), and specialized state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School districts and state correctional and social-service facilities dominate recent activity.

The code sees recent activity concentrated in the Southeast and South-Central United States, with solicitations from Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut posted between May and October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026 (IWQ 140229); the Oregon Department of Corrections' invitation to bid for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 at a historical price of $21.84 per case (ITB S-29100-00017453); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's invitation for bids on supplemental food and consumables statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years, due March 19, 2026 (IFB HHS0016792V2); and the City of Bridgeport's bid for 115 commodity line items including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center due June 26, 2026 (BNB053266). Most solicitations are ITBs or IFBs with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and compliance requirements tied to USDA standards, Buy American provisions, and commercial liability insurance minimums of $1 million.
