UNSPSC 50335511: Dried organic sharon fruit persimmon

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

UNSPSC 50335511 Dried organic sharon fruit persimmon is a Commodity code that covers dried fruit products procured by state and local education and correctional agencies for nutrition programs and institutional food service. However, the recent opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with the specific category name—the Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB and the Bridgeport Board of Education and City of Bridgeport's commodity bids emphasize fresh fruits and vegetables rather than dried persimmons, while the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicitations for cafeteria food products and dried prunes address broader dried-fruit and commodity categories that may incidentally overlap but do not center on sharon fruit persimmons. School districts and correctional departments dominate the issuing-body mix, reflecting institutional food service procurement patterns where nutrition programs operate under Buy American provisions (typically requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed items) and fixed-price contracting over annual or multi-year periods.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and South, with recent opportunities from Hancock County Schools in Georgia, the City of Bridgeport in Connecticut, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice spanning multiple warehouse and delivery locations. Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) requesting over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year with delivery to three school sites; the City of Bridgeport's commodities bid (posted June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026) for 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center; and the Texas Comptroller's IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on behalf of TDCJ (originally due April 21, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026) covering approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across six TDCJ distribution points. The code shows limited recent procurement activity specifically targeting dried sharon fruit persimmons; most tagged opportunities address broader commodity or fresh-produce categories under institutional nutrition programs.
