UNSPSC 50305512: Triumph persimmons

The variety of persimmons known as triumph persimmons

UNSPSC 50305512 Triumph persimmons, a Commodity code, represents fresh fruit procurement for state and local government child nutrition, senior services, and institutional food programs. State and local governments buy persimmons primarily through school nutrition programs serving K-12 students under the National School Lunch Program and Child and Adult Care Food Program, supplemented by smaller volumes in senior centers and child care facilities. Issuing bodies span independent school districts, county school boards, city education departments, Head Start programs, and municipal senior services divisions. The code shows activity concentrated among Georgia school districts and Texas child care and education authorities, with sporadic procurement by districts and agencies in Connecticut, Florida, Oregon, and California.

Representative recent opportunities reflect the institutional produce market. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026017 on July 16, 2026, for CACFP meal items including fresh fruits and vegetables for 400 children daily, with proposals due August 4, 2026; evaluation weighted cost at 30%, qualifications at 25%, technical approach at 25%, and menu quality at 20%. Bulloch County School District (Georgia) issued an Invitation for Proposal on April 3, 2026, for locally grown fresh produce including persimmons for the 2026-2027 farm-to-school program, seeking items grown within 200 miles of the district, with proposals due May 4, 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) requested bids for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks in RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, emphasizing produce sourced within 400 miles and Wisconsin, with a $0.20 per pound preference discount on organic items in final price comparison. Across school-based solicitations, buyers specify quality standards, HACCP compliance, USDA standards adherence, Buy American preferences where applicable (51% domestic content for processed items), and weekly delivery with temperature control. Cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative in Georgia) aggregate demand across multiple districts, creating larger-volume procurement opportunities. Set-asides and preferences vary by issuer—local-vendor preferences in Texas, diverse-owned business status points in Georgia and Wisconsin, and Good Food Purchasing Program alignment in Austin ISD. Activity is strongest in the first half of 2026, with most school-year contracts running July 1 through June 30 and due dates clustering in March through June for fall-year awards.
