UNSPSC 50345501: Frozen american persimmon

The variety of persimmons known as american persimmon that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50345501 Frozen american persimmon (Commodity) covers specialty frozen fruit products supplied primarily to institutional food service operations—school districts, state hospitals, state-supported living centers, and correctional facilities—where frozen fruit appears as one item within broader food procurement categories rather than as a standalone product line. State and local governments buy frozen persimmons alongside dozens of other frozen fruits, vegetables, proteins, and pantry staples in consolidated food service contracts that reflect institutional meal planning and procurement efficiencies. The mix of issuing bodies spans state health and human services departments (Texas HHS Commission procuring for multiple state hospital and supported living center locations), county and independent school districts (Fulton County Schools in Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education in Mississippi, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Henry County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood School District in Missouri, Douglas County School System in Georgia), a county correctional facility (Santa Clara County Sheriff Department), a Head Start nonprofit agency, and a state corrections department (Oregon Department of Corrections). No single issuer dominates; rather, seasonal education-cycle procurement (July through August for school year contracts) and ongoing institutional food service demand drive continuous activity.

Geographic concentration clusters heavily in Georgia, with recent school nutrition procurements from Fulton County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, and Henry County Schools all posting between February and July 2026. Texas shows sustained state-level activity through the HHS Commission (El Paso State Supported Living Center in June 2026, Big Spring State Hospital in July 2026, and statewide supplemental food procurement in February and May 2026). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (response due July 27, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce serving the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts across two Georgia areas (due March 4, 2026). All opportunities require firm fixed pricing, HACCP compliance, federal Buy American provisions for school-based procurements, and delivery to multiple institutional sites; school contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with optional renewal periods extending three to five years. No opportunities naming frozen persimmon specifically appeared in the recent-opportunities block; frozen fruit products surface as line items within broader frozen-foods or grocery categories, suggesting the Commodity code sees modest standalone visibility but consistent underlying demand within consolidated institutional food service contracts.
