UNSPSC 50335501: Dried organic american persimmon

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

UNSPSC 50335501 Dried organic american persimmon is a Commodity code that covers fresh and dried fruit products procured by state and local school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food service operations. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily seeking dried fruit to supplement institutional cafeteria menus, often as part of broader food commodity procurements that include proteins, vegetables, grains, and specialty items. The scope of recent activity reflects demand from school districts and state corrections departments for products meeting USDA grade standards, specific packaging requirements, and compliance with Buy American provisions mandating minimum domestic ingredient content in processed foods.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (Georgia Department of Education, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), and municipal purchasing offices acting on behalf of school nutrition operations. Geographic activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia, IFB #SN002-2027 posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026), which covers over 200 produce line items for school delivery; COMMODITIES (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases, posted June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026), an IFB for 115 food commodity line items including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center; and Cafeteria Food Products (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of TDCJ, IFB No. 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026 after extension via Addendum No. 2), spanning approximately 382 line items across five Texas geographic areas. A fourth opportunity, Prunes – Corpus Location (Texas TDCJ, Bid No. IW236532, originally due February 20, 2026), specifically solicited 1,400 boxes of U.S. Grade B whole pitted dried prunes in 60–70 count size for a single delivery location, illustrating narrow commodity procurement typical of institutional food service contracting.
