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, a Commodity code, shows limited direct relevance to recent state and local procurements. The code's narrow specification — non-GMO date purees from a single cultivar — does not align with the actual purchasing activity under this classification. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for date purees or specialty date products; instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span broad food service procurement for schools, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies, including canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and general food commodities. The mismatch between the code's precise commodity scope and the diverse, commodity-level food products actually being purchased suggests either tagging inconsistency in the source data or that 50562802 sees minimal to no specialized procurement activity at the state and local level.

The opportunities that appear under this code reflect purchasing patterns for K-12 school nutrition, state corrections, state health and human services facilities, and independent school districts across multiple regions. Recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers (due July 11, 2026 with prior posting dates of February through June 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026). Geographic concentration appears strongest in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and other states. The actual purchasing under this code classification focuses on shelf-stable and fresh bulk food products for institutional food service operations rather than specialty date products, indicating that firms pursuing opportunities in this code should align with commodity food service distribution rather than seek niche date-puree suppliers.
