UNSPSC 50532911: Dried non GMO khidri dates

The variety of non GMO dates known as non GMO khidri dates that have been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50532911 Dried non-GMO khidri dates is a Commodity code that captures specialized dried fruit products for institutional food service operations, though the recent state and local solicitation activity under this code bears minimal relevance to the specific commodity named. The code appears in the procurement systems of school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and municipal purchasing departments, but current opportunities focus on broader food and produce categories rather than khidri dates specifically. When the code does surface in state and local RFPs and IFBs, it typically sits within large multi-line-item grocery or food service contracts that span hundreds of line items across breakfast items, fresh produce, frozen goods, dairy, proteins, and specialty foods. Vendors supplying under this code segment must meet federal Buy American requirements (typically 51 percent domestic content in processed agricultural products), comply with nutritional standards including the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, pass blind taste and specification testing, maintain HACCP plans, carry commercial general liability and products liability insurance at $1 million to $2 million per occurrence, and deliver on a firm fixed-price basis with no fuel surcharges.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and reflects school nutrition procurement and state institutional food service operations. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases posted IFB BNB052266 on June 30, 2026, for over 1,100 line-item grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, with delivery to a central warehouse and designated school sites and contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty fruits for delivery to three school locations, with bids due June 26, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical monthly value of approximately $1.5 million and response deadline July 13, 2026. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted ITB 26-00289 on June 3, 2026, for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17,832,659.90 over three years, with bids due June 25, 2026. The code shows no standout repeat buyers across the recent opportunities and no concentration in any single state or region beyond scattered Southeast and Texas activity.
