UNSPSC 50383304: Fardh date purees

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

UNSPSC 50383304 Fruit and date purees (Commodity) covers processed fruit products purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show the code is being applied to a broader range of canned and processed fruit items than the code name alone suggests. State and local buyers are using this classification for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, and supplemental food products across correctional facilities, school districts, health and human services agencies, and state-supported living centers. The issuing-body mix is diverse: Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, school districts in multiple states (Austin ISD in Texas, Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Fairfax County in Virginia, and Douglas County in Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Connecticut Board of Education, and the State of Illinois. School nutrition programs and institutional food service dominate the recent activity, with state correctional and health facilities as secondary buyers.

Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem with a historical price of $21.84 per case and a combined 10 percent state-preference incentive; Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 (posted June 26, 2026, due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products.
