UNSPSC 50315501: Organic american persimmon

The variety of organic persimmons known as organic american persimmon

UNSPSC 50315501 Organic american persimmon is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh organic persimmons and related produce items purchased by state and local institutional food buyers, particularly school districts and county parks departments. The recent solicitations under this code show that state and local governments are acquiring fresh produce—both specialty items like organic persimmons and broader fresh fruit and vegetable inventories—for school nutrition programs (breakfast and lunch), county park concession operations, healthcare facility food services, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program support. The work involves sourcing, delivery logistics, quality assurance, food safety compliance (HACCP plans), traceability documentation, and adherence to Buy American and domestic agricultural content preferences. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county governments (Collier County), specialized healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia).

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Georgia and Wisconsin, with secondary opportunities in Florida. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District requesting petite bananas via RFB with bids due July 29, 2026, at an estimated annual value of $78,000 for a nine-month contract period; Hancock County Board of Education issuing IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, for delivery across multiple school locations through June 30, 2027; and Bartow County School System seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles via RFP with proposals due June 22, 2026, reflecting a strong geographic-preference and local-sourcing trend. Collier County issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025 (note: posted date October 8, 2026 with a past due date suggests a data quality issue in the source), evaluating menu variety and local-vendor preference at 10 evaluation points. School districts consistently weight cost at 40 percent and emphasize organic sourcing, seasonal availability, traceability by farm of origin, and compliance with USDA whole-grain and reduced-sodium standards.
