UNSPSC 50335502: Dried organic black sapote persimmon

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

UNSPSC 50335502 Dried organic black sapote persimmon (Commodity) encompasses specialty dried fruit products state and local governments procure for institutional food service, though recent opportunities show minimal activity specifically under this narrow commodity code. The recent solicitations tagged to this code span school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other public food service operations, but none of the posted opportunities actually seek dried black sapote or persimmon products—instead, they reflect broader fresh produce, dried fruit, and grocery procurement across school districts, county corrections systems, and state agencies. The issuing bodies are primarily K-12 school nutrition programs (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri), municipal education departments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), state procurement offices (State of Georgia, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and county corrections (County of Santa Clara, California). School districts dominate the recent activity.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and reflects a mix of statewide and multi-district cooperative purchasing arrangements, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, Virginia, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' fresh produce solicitation (IFB posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 fresh produce line items with weekly delivery to three school sites; the County of Santa Clara's dried fruits and nuts ITB (posted January 28, 2026, due February 5, 2026) for raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans for a correctional facility; and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One. The code shows no recent opportunities specifically for dried black sapote or persimmon products, indicating this commodity sits outside the active procurement range for state and local public bodies.
