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 is a Commodity code that covers specialty dried fruit products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code predominantly feature fresh produce procurement rather than dried specialty fruits. School districts and correctional institutions dominate the issuing bodies, with school nutrition programs soliciting comprehensive fresh-produce bundles spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, citrus fruits, and specialty items like kiwis and mangos under Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and state education departments also procure dried fruits and commodity food products at scale, though the recent opportunities block shows limited activity specifically targeting dried organic black sapote persimmon; instead, recent opportunities reflect broader institutional food categories including proteins, dairy, grains, and miscellaneous staple items alongside fresh and dried produce generally.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut, with the most recent opportunities including Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 response deadline and delivery through June 30, 2027; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) requesting commodities including fruit and vegetable products with a June 26, 2026 deadline and contract term through June 30, 2027; the State of Georgia posting an IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026; and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts procuring cafeteria food products on behalf of TDCJ with an extended May 4, 2026 deadline and initial term through August 31, 2027. A separate TDCJ solicitation (IW236532) targeted whole pitted dried prunes with a February 20, 2026 deadline, indicating institutional demand for dried fruit products, though that opportunity has passed. The code shows little recent activity specifically targeting dried organic black sapote persimmon as a line item; pursuit should focus on broader institutional fresh and dried produce categories where school nutrition programs and correctional facilities cluster their spending.
