The variety of persimmons known as american persimmon that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325501 Dried American persimmon is a Commodity code representing dried fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show school districts, state education systems, and correctional facilities buying dried fruits and related produce items as components of larger food-service contracts rather than as standalone dried-persimmon-specific purchases. The code's scope encompasses fresh and processed produce items delivered to school cafeterias, nutrition centers, and institutional dining facilities under contracts that emphasize Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP food-safety plans, firm fixed pricing for multi-year terms, and delivery to designated sites on FOB Destination or prepaid freight terms.
