UNSPSC 50305506: Giant fuyu persimmons

The variety of persimmons known as giant fuyu persimmons

UNSPSC 50305506 Giant fuyu persimmons (Commodity) is narrowly solicited under state and local procurement, with the code appearing in only one recent opportunity despite active purchasing across related fresh-produce categories. State and local governments buy persimmons and other specialty fruit items primarily through school district food service and child nutrition programs, typically as components of larger fresh-produce or grocery contracts rather than as standalone line items. The single opportunity naming giant fuyu persimmons directly is the Bulloch County School District's Invitation for Proposal for locally-grown produce to support its Farm to School program, which lists persimmons alongside watermelons, apples, citrus varieties, sweet potatoes, strawberries, and other seasonal items sourced within 200 miles of the county. School nutrition programs across multiple states (Texas, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Georgia, Connecticut, Florida) are conducting active fresh-produce procurement, but persimmons appear rarely in itemized specifications; the code's specificity to a single fruit variety limits its utility as a tracking mechanism for broader produce-supply opportunities that bundle multiple fruit and vegetable categories under general fresh-produce or grocery RFPs and RFQs.

Bulloch County School District in Georgia issued the most relevant recent solicitation under Invitation for Proposal PE55612NONST2027000000031 (posted April 3, 2026, due May 4, 2026), seeking locally-grown produce including persimmons for the 2026-2027 fiscal year with deliveries to 14 schools and evaluation weighted toward price (30 points), product quality and availability (30 points), alignment with requirements (20 points), and services and support (20 points). The broader market for fresh produce in state and local school nutrition is concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, Florida, Connecticut, and Mississippi, where dozens of school districts, school systems, and child care agencies are issuing IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs for seasonal and year-round produce supply. However, giant fuyu persimmons as a commodity code sees minimal direct solicitation activity; vendors pursuing this code should monitor Bulloch County and similar Farm-to-School initiatives in the Southeast and Southwest that prioritize local seasonal sourcing, as these programs are more likely to specify specialty fruit varieties than standard institutional produce contracts.
