UNSPSC 50335508: Dried organic mabolo/butter fruit persimmon

The variety of organic persimmons known as organic mabolo/butter fruit persimmon that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50335508 Dried organic mabolo/butter fruit persimmon is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specialty dried fruit product, but recent state and local opportunities show minimal sourcing activity directly aligned with this specific item. School districts and state agencies are actively procuring fresh produce, processed foods, and commodities for nutrition centers and correctional facilities, yet none of the recent solicitations reference dried mabolo or butter fruit persimmon as a line item. The Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce under the 2026-27 school year encompasses over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, and specialty items such as kiwis, mangos, papayas, and starfruit, but dried tropical fruits are not explicitly listed. Similarly, the City of Bridgeport's commodities RFQ for the Board of Education Nutrition Center covers eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products, while the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's procurement of cafeteria food products spans proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, canned and fresh vegetables, and fruits without specifying dried exotic persimmon varieties. State correctional departments and school nutrition operations represent the primary issuing bodies visible under this code tier.

Activity in this Commodity appears geographically limited to Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas based on recent postings, with no evidence of sourcing concentration in any single state. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 with responses due June 26, 2026, requiring deliveries to three school locations and firm pricing through June 30, 2027 under Buy American provisions. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases opened its commodities RFQ through June 26, 2026, with deliveries to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center. The Texas Comptroller issued an IFB for cafeteria food products on behalf of TDCJ (response extended to May 4, 2026) covering approximately 382 line items across five geographic distribution areas. A TDCJ procurement for dried prunes (IW236532, due February 20, 2026, amended from February 18) requested 1,400 boxes of U.S. Grade B whole pitted prunes for the Corpus location. The code shows little evidence of active demand for the specific dried mabolo/butter fruit persimmon product; buyers in this space focus on commodity staples, fresh produce, and established dried fruits rather than niche tropical specialty items.
