UNSPSC 50372915: Canned or jarred organic yatimeh dates

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

UNSPSC 50372915 Canned or jarred organic yatimeh dates is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The opportunities posted under this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, food supply distribution, and comprehensive food service products for corrections facilities, school districts, state institutions, and municipal nutrition programs—none of which are organic dates. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the goods being purchased suggests either a systematic tagging error in the source system or that this particular Commodity code has been repurposed across multiple product categories in practice.

Issuing bodies pursuing food procurement under this code span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District, Dallas Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), municipalities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and regional school cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, Connecticut, and Illinois, with recent notice-type activity spanning ITBs, RFPs, and RFQs across fixed-price food contracts, cooperative purchasing arrangements, and multi-vendor awards. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case historical pricing; the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One, proposals due March 4, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years and revised bid closing of February 23, 2026. Code activity reflects substantial ongoing demand for food service commodities across institutional, educational, and correctional settings, though the systematic mismatch between the code name and actual procurements warrants verification of the coding assignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under this classification.
