UNSPSC 50305507: Hachiya persimmons

The variety of persimmons known as hachiya persimmons

UNSPSC 50305507 Hachiya persimmons is a Commodity code that identifies a specific fresh fruit item procured by state and local governments primarily for school nutrition programs and senior services. Recent state and local opportunities show minimal direct procurement of Hachiya persimmons as a standalone line item; instead, persimmons appear as one produce option within broader fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations for K-12 school districts and child nutrition programs. The Bulloch County School District's local produce RFP for its Farm to School program explicitly lists persimmons among 24 seasonal produce items sourced within 200 miles, and the Bartow County School System's local fresh fruit and vegetable RFP references persimmons as a seasonal variety available from regional vendors. School districts, county boards of education, child nutrition programs serving Head Start and CACFP populations, and senior services divisions constitute the primary issuing bodies. These entities procure persimmons as part of comprehensive produce contracts rather than as dedicated single-item buys, with most opportunities structured as annual or multi-year agreements incorporating numerous apple varieties, citrus, berries, root vegetables, and leafy greens alongside specialty items.

Georgia school districts dominate the recent activity, with Bulloch County, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, and Bryan County all posting fresh produce solicitations between March and June 2026 that encompass persimmons within their seasonal produce specifications. The Bulloch County local produce RFP (due May 4, 2026) and Bartow County local produce RFP (due June 22, 2026) are the most directly relevant opportunities, as both explicitly reference persimmons and emphasize regional sourcing. Texas and Florida school districts, including McAllen Independent School District (RFP due March 6, 2026) and Hillsborough County Public Schools (RFP due March 11, 2026), have also posted produce opportunities, though persimmons are not individually itemized in their published specifications. Pursuit leverage for persimmons exists primarily through cooperative purchasing arrangements and multi-item produce distribution contracts where vendors bundle persimmons with mainstream fruits to meet district seasonal and nutritional variety requirements, rather than through direct commodity-level specifications.
