UNSPSC 50383303: Deglet noor date purees

The variety of dates known as deglet noor dates which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50383303 Deglet noor date purees is a Commodity code tracking purchases of date-based food products by state and local jurisdictions, though recent solicitations show substantial divergence from the code's nominal scope. The opportunities posted under this code predominantly solicit canned and fresh fruit products, prepared foods, grocery staples, and broad food-service consumables rather than date purees specifically. Issuing bodies span state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, school districts, and municipal boards of education across multiple states, with school nutrition programs representing the dominant buyer segment. Recent activity shows repeat procurement from Oregon Department of Corrections (two applesauce solicitations in five months), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (two supplemental food procurements), and multiple Georgia school districts including Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County, alongside independent school districts in Texas (Dallas ISD, Austin ISD) and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia. These jurisdictions collectively manage school meal operations serving thousands of students and operate state-level food service for corrections and health facilities.

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, under firm-fixed FOB-destination pricing with 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-headquartered-business preferences; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with historical values of approximately $1.5 million annually and cost-plus-indexing adjustments permitted; and the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce due June 26, 2026, requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content and firm pricing for the full contract period. The code shows steady quarterly activity, though the mismatch between code name (date purees) and actual solicitation scope (broad food procurement) suggests classification inconsistency in the source data.
