UNSPSC 50335504: Dried organic date plum persimmon

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

UNSPSC 50335504 Dried organic date plum persimmon is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevance to the nominal scope. The most recent opportunities solicited fresh produce, processed food commodities, cafeteria supplies, and dried prunes for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, not dried date plum persimmons specifically. Hancock County Schools Nutrition (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits for the 2026–27 school year, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted an IFB on June 2, 2026, for 115 line items of commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026; and the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has been active in correctional food procurement, issuing an IFB for cafeteria food products on May 4, 2026, with a response date extended to May 4, 2026, and a separate IFB for dried prunes (IW236532) with a bid opening on February 20, 2026.

School districts and correctional agencies dominate the recent issuing bodies under this code tier, with activity concentrated in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. The predominant commodity categories—fresh produce, processed foods, dairy, proteins, grains, and limited specialty dried fruits—reflect institutional food service needs rather than a focused market for dried date plum persimmons. The Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas opportunities all require Buy American compliance with at least 51 percent domestic content for processed products and impose standard requirements including HACCP or USDA compliance, delivery to multiple sites, firm fixed pricing, and vendor insurance. The code shows little recent state and local procurement activity specific to dried organic date plum persimmons; vendors positioned in this category should monitor school nutrition and institutional food service RFBs and cooperative purchasing vehicles but recognize that demand under the nominal code scope remains narrow.
