UNSPSC 50315502: Organic black sapote persimmon

The variety of organic persimmons known as organic black sapote persimmon

UNSPSC 50315502 Organic black sapote persimmon is a Commodity code. State and local school districts are the primary buyers under this code, though recent solicitations show that procurement activity tagged to this code does not reflect its nominal scope. Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System have all posted fresh produce solicitations in the past four months, but these opportunities span comprehensive produce portfolios—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, melons, peppers, tomatoes, and prepared produce—rather than the specialty item this code names. The solicitations are uniformly issued as Invitations for Bid (IFB), Requests for Proposal (RFP), and Requests for Bids (RFB) to supply school nutrition programs serving National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program requirements, with contract terms running July 1 through June 30 and renewal options extending one to four additional years.

The bulk of recent activity concentrates in Georgia school districts, including Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Glynn County, with secondary activity in Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Texas (McAllen and Austin), and cooperative procurements spanning multiple districts. Represent­ative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000, 70–90 cases weekly), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and citrus (due June 26, 2026, delivery to three school locations), and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering approximately 72 produce line items across 30 districts in two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (sealed proposals due March 4, 2026). All solicitations require HACCP plans, Buy American compliance, weekly or twice-weekly deliveries to multiple school sites, minimum liability insurance of $500,000 to $2 million, and traceability documentation with 24/7 recall accessibility. The code shows minimal actual procurement activity for organic black sapote persimmons specifically and substantial mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the broad institutional fresh-produce aggregations state and local agencies are currently buying.
