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 with minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific dried fruit product, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for mabolo or butter fruit persimmon. Instead, the twelve captured opportunities span fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus), frozen and canned goods, proteins, dairy, grains, and broader grocery categories for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and food service operations. The mismatch between the code's narrow product specification and the wide-ranging food procurement activity in the block suggests that either the code is rarely used to tag state and local food buys, or that procurement offices are applying it incorrectly to food service contracts that should fall under broader commodity codes.

The issuing bodies in the block are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System) supplemented by state agencies (Georgia Department of Education, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), one city (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and one county (Santa Clara, California). Geographic concentration runs heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Virginia, Missouri, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' fresh-produce IFB (June 26, 2026 response date) spanning over 200 line items of fruits and vegetables; the City of Bridgeport's commodities bid (June 26, 2026) for the Board of Education Nutrition Center covering 115 line items; and Douglas County School System's RFP for a main-line food distributor (February 18, 2026 response date) with an estimated $9 million annual expenditure. The code shows little relevance to actual state and local procurement as currently tagged in this dataset.
