UNSPSC 50325508: Dried mabolo/butter fruit persimmon

The variety of persimmons known as mabolo/butter fruit persimmon that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325508 Dried mabolo/butter fruit persimmon is a Commodity code that nominally covers specialty dried fruit products, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no solicitations for dried mabolo or butter fruit persimmon. The ten most recently posted opportunities span school nutrition fresh produce and staple food items, correctional facility food service, and general grocery procurement for school districts and state agencies across Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and California. Work solicited under nearby codes in this family includes fresh fruits and vegetables (apples, berries, citrus, leafy greens, root vegetables), dried specialty items (prunes, raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mixes, nuts), eggs, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees—all tied to K-12 school nutrition programs, state food services, and correctional facility operations. The geographic spread centers on Georgia (six of ten opportunities), with notable recent activity in Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and California. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and Douglas County School System) and state-level purchasing offices (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of TDCJ, County of Santa Clara, and Georgia state procurement).

Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), which sought over 200 line items of fresh produce with delivery to three school locations and required compliance with Buy American provisions; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's commodities solicitation (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026) for 115 line items to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center with MBE/CBE certifications applicable; Texas Department of Criminal Justice Cafeteria Food Products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) covering approximately 382 food line items across five geographic warehouse locations; and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) establishing a term contract for food products and delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens. The code shows negligible direct match to dried mabolo or butter fruit persimmon; the procurement activity reflects broader school nutrition and institutional food supply demand rather than specialty dried fruit at the commodity level.
