UNSPSC 50305509: Principe ito persimmons

The variety of persimmons known as principe ito persimmons

UNSPSC 50305509 Principe ito persimmons is a Commodity code covering fresh fruit procurement for institutional food service and nutrition programs at state and local agencies. Recent state and local solicitations show that this code and its broader fresh-produce context are being used to procure fresh fruits and vegetables—particularly apples, bananas, berries, citrus, and stone fruits—for delivery to correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, senior centers, child care programs, and regional parks. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health (Texas, Illinois), county school districts (across Georgia, Mississippi, Wisconsin, and Connecticut), city departments (San Antonio, Bridgeport, Edinburg), counties (Collier County, Florida), and nonprofit organizations operating federal child nutrition programs (Head Start, Boys & Girls Club). The mix skews heavily toward school nutrition programs and state institutional food services; repeat activity appears concentrated in Georgia school districts and Texas state agencies.

Recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting fresh fruit and vegetable supply to its Palestine facility (RFP IW267376, due October 19, 2026) and Wynne and Snyder food warehouses (IFB IW267411 and IW267420, both due October 14, 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections requesting fresh-produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center with a small-business set-aside (RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026); and multiple school districts issuing line-item bids for produce to support National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs—including DeSoto County Schools, Mississippi (sealed bid, June 22, 2026); Hancock County Schools, Georgia (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); and Dougherty County Schools, Georgia (sealed bid, June 16, 2026).
