UNSPSC 50562816: Non GMO zahidi date purees

The variety of non GMO dates known as non GMO zahidi dates which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50562816 Non GMO zahidi date purees is a Commodity code that covers specialized date products for institutional food service. State and local governments purchasing under this code are acquiring shelf-stable food items for senior services, corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and health and human services operations. The code sits within the broader landscape of food commodity procurement but appears to capture a narrow product line—date purees and related date products—within much larger multi-line-item food supply solicitations that also include proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and consumables. Recent opportunities show that institutional buyers source date products alongside hundreds of other food commodities rather than as standalone procurements; the Commodity code does not stand alone in practice.

Recent activity spans multiple states and issuing bodies including county boards of education (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and municipal nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). The most active recent solicitations span Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0016792v2 Supplemental Food & Consumables (IFB, 210 line items including fresh and frozen products, bid response deadline March 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' S2910000016975 Fruit Applesauce (ITB for canned applesauce, bid closing June 2, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce procurement (IFB with sealed bids due June 26, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport's BNB053266 Commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (IFB with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026). However, none of the recent opportunities explicitly name date purees or zahidi dates as line items; the code assignment appears misaligned with the actual solicitations posted under it, suggesting limited recent direct procurement activity specific to non-GMO zahidi date purees at the state and local level.
