UNSPSC 50325511: Dried sharon fruit persimmon

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

UNSPSC 50325511 Dried sharon fruit persimmon, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—dried sharon fruit persimmon—does not align with the procurement activity actually posted under it. Recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code overwhelmingly target broader grocery and food-service supply contracts spanning produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods for school nutrition programs, detention facilities, and correctional institutions rather than any dried persimmon procurement. The single opportunity most closely related to the code's name—Santa Clara County's January 2026 dried fruits and nuts ITB—calls for dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans, but does not specify dried persimmons and appears to have been incorrectly tagged with the persimmon commodity code.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing bodies, with recent opportunities from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and state departments and correctional agencies in Texas and California. Geographic concentration is highest in Georgia, with additional activity in Virginia, Missouri, Texas, and California. The mismatch between the code's definition and actual procurement content suggests the code sees little genuine market demand for dried sharon fruit persimmons in state and local government purchasing; business development professionals should verify category assignments with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this code, as the tagging appears unreliable.
