UNSPSC 50383305: Gundila date purees

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

UNSPSC 50383305 Gundila date purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of recent state and local procurement activity under this code. The posted opportunities show school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and state procurement offices soliciting canned and fresh fruit products—applesauce, pears, fresh produce, and prepared food items—for child nutrition programs, institutional food service, and state facility operations. The code's nominal name bears no relation to the work actually being bought; state and local agencies are purchasing mainstream fruit products in volume for meal service, not specialty date purees.

Recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographies with no concentration. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two invitations to bid for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, and ITB S-29100-00016975, due June 2, 2026), each covering multiple truckloads at historical pricing near $21.84 per case. Austin Independent School District (Texas) issued RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide under IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026, with historical annual value of $1.5 million) and IFB HHS0016792 (due March 19, 2026, with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years). School nutrition programs in Georgia—Hancock County Schools (fresh produce, IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education (over 400 food items, IFB, due April 29, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (fresh produce, Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System (fresh produce and eggs, RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026)—posted competing procurements. Connecticut, Missouri, and other jurisdictions also show active activity. The code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch and warrants review for accurate classification.
