UNSPSC 50315500: Organic persimmons

The type of organic fruit known as organic persimmons

UNSPSC 50315500 Organic persimmons, a Class code, encompasses fresh fruit procurement by state and local governments, though the recent solicitation record shows the code captures food-service sourcing more broadly than organic persimmons alone. School districts, county parks departments, health-care coalitions, and state agricultural procurement offices buy fresh produce—including fruits, vegetables, and specialty items—under this classification. The work involves vendor selection for supply and delivery of fresh commodities to schools, parks, hospitals, and institutional food-service operations, with contracts typically spanning a school or fiscal year and subject to quality standards, food-safety compliance, delivery schedules, and price-competitiveness review. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), regional health-care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia).

The code shows strongest recent activity in Georgia and Wisconsin. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, estimated $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison with a $0.20 per pound organic produce price preference (due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school locations (due June 26, 2026); Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026, with contract term July 20, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and four renewal options); and Collier County's ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park including concession operations (due March 6, 2025, with a 10-point local-vendor preference). School districts frequently weight cost at 40 percent, apply geographic or local-sourcing preferences, require HACCP plans and E-Verify verification, and reserve the right to award to multiple vendors or terminate with notice.
