UNSPSC 50562802: Non GMO barhi or barhee date purees

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

UNSPSC 50562802 Non GMO barhi or barhee date purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely solicit specifically against this code. The recent opportunities block includes no procurement for non-GMO date purees; instead, the sourced opportunities span broader food-service categories including canned applesauce, fresh produce, shelf-stable staples, dried fruit bars, and mixed commodity purchases for correctional facilities, schools, senior services, and state hospitals. The code's narrow product definition — a single varietal of date puree with non-GMO certification — sits outside the scope of the representative solicitations posted over the past four months. Issuing bodies active in the broader food-service procurement space include state corrections and health departments (Texas HHSC and DSHS, Oregon Department of Corrections), county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia), city school districts (Austin ISD, Bridgeport Board of Education), county human-services agencies (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state veteran facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy).

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut, with sporadic state-level solicitations for food commodities across multiple agencies. Recent opportunities show ITBs, IFBs, and RFPs for food-service items due between May and October 2026, with contract terms typically running one year with renewal options. Buy American and domestic-content preferences appear frequently (Oregon, Connecticut, Georgia school districts, and Texas); prevailing wage and insurance requirements are standard. The code itself shows no recent relevant activity — state and local procurement offices appear to classify food items under broader commodity codes rather than by specific fruit varietal or agricultural origin. Firms targeting this code should monitor school nutrition, corrections food service, and state hospital procurement through primary platforms (OregonBuys, OpenGov, Texas HHS Procurement Portal, and state procurement offices) for related dried-fruit or specialty agricultural categories, as the narrowly defined barhi date puree category does not generate standalone solicitations in the current market.
