UNSPSC 50383301: Asharasi date purees

The variety of dates known as asharasi dates which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50383301 Asharasi date purees, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific dried-fruit product — asharasi date purees — but the recent solicitations indexed to this code procure broad food-service commodities and fresh produce for schools, correctional facilities, health and human services institutions, and county departments. The mismatch signals either a data-tagging error in the underlying procurement system or that state and local agencies are using this code as a catch-all for miscellaneous food purchases rather than restricting it to its nominal product scope. No recent opportunities explicitly request asharasi date purees or date products of any kind.

Recent activity under the code spans state departments (Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Hancock County, Georgia), cities (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Austin Independent School District, Texas), and special-purpose districts. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County's IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois' weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, with brand-specific and brand-or-equal offerings (proposals due August 24, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (bids due July 31, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport's procurement of 115 commodity line items for school nutrition including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products (proposals due June 26, 2026). Activity concentrates in Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Oregon, and Connecticut, with procurement methods split between IFBs and RFPs. Given the code-to-opportunity mismatch, this code shows little actionable recent activity for vendors supplying the nominal commodity.
