UNSPSC 50335503: Dried organic chapote/black persimmon

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

UNSPSC 50335503 Dried organic chapote/black persimmon is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific dried fruit product, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code shows little activity aligned with that narrow scope. Of the twelve opportunities in the most-recent-opportunities block, only one—Santa Clara County's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts supplied to a correctional facility—involves dried fruits as a primary procurement item. That solicitation called for dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans; chapote or black persimmon do not appear in the specification. The remaining eleven opportunities are school nutrition and correctional food service solicitations centered on fresh produce, proteins, staples, and bulk grocery items, with no mention of chapote or dried black persimmon. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact in the state and local sourcing pipeline rather than an active procurement category.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the activity in this dataset, including Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), alongside correctional systems in Texas and California and the City of Bridgeport's school nutrition center. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, and California. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce with a due date of June 26, 2026, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB (Solicitation 304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2). The Santa Clara County dried fruits and nuts procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) is the only recent opportunity that touches dried fruit categories, though it does not reference chapote. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local pursuit unless procurement notices explicitly call for chapote or black persimmon by name; current activity reflects general food service commodity sourcing rather than this specific dried fruit product line.
