UNSPSC 50383302: Barhi or barhee date purees

The variety of dates known as barhi or barhee dates which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50383302 Barhi or barhee date purees (Commodity) encompasses processed fruit products and related food items bought by state and local food service buyers, though recent state and local opportunities show little activity directly matching the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities flagged under this code predominantly solicit canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broader food service supplies—categories related to fruit processing but not specifically barhi or barhee date purees. Issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham, DISD), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), and municipal purchasing offices (Bridgeport). School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with supplementary procurement from correctional facilities and state health service centers. Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas HHSC appear as repeat buyers, each issuing multiple food service solicitations in the past five months.

The geographic spread favors the South and Southwest: Georgia (Hancock County, Douglas County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Liberty County), Texas (Dallas ISD, Austin ISD, HHSC statewide, TDCJ), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and Oregon (Department of Corrections) are the principal jurisdictions posting opportunities. Texas, Georgia, and Oregon account for the plurality of recent activity. Representative opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 (canned applesauce, 4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026), and Texas HHSC IFB HHS0016792 (supplemental food and consumables statewide, maximum value $4.5 million over three years, questions due June 22, 2026). The code's recent activity reflects state and local demand for shelf-stable and fresh fruit products suitable for institutional food service rather than date purees specifically.
