UNSPSC 50335507: Dried organic hachiya persimmons

The variety of organic persimmons known as organic hachiya persimmons that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50335507 Dried organic hachiya persimmons, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains thirteen solicitations across school districts, county governments, state departments, and correctional facilities, spanning fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, proteins, grains, and specialty dried fruits and nuts—but none specifically name hachiya persimmons or other dried persimmons. A Santa Clara County detention facility procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) solicited dried fruits including raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix; a Texas TDCJ bid (IW236532, due February 20, 2026) targeted dried prunes; and multiple school nutrition RFPs and IFBs across Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia include produce line items—yet persimmons, fresh or dried, do not appear in any itemized solicitation scope. The code's narrow focus on a single varietal of dried fruit contrasts sharply with the broad commodity-level purchasing patterns evident in current school nutrition and correctional food service contracts, where dried fruits appear as one of many staple inputs rather than standalone procurement targets.

State and local buyers in food service procurement are actively soliciting produce, proteins, grains, and prepared foods through school districts (Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and state agencies (Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ; State of Georgia; County of Santa Clara). These jurisdictions consolidate procurement through cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative in Georgia) and electronic platforms (Bonfire, NUTRIKIDS, OpenGov). The absence of persimmon-specific solicitations in recent months suggests either that this dried fruit falls outside routine school and institutional nutrition sourcing, is supplied as part of broader mixed-dried-fruit or snack purchases under higher-level commodity codes, or sees infrequent or single-source contracting not yet visible in the current opportunity set. Firms considering this code should monitor school nutrition and correctional facility RFPs for seasonal produce additions and specialty snack components, but current activity does not support active pursuit.
