UNSPSC 50345505: Frozen fuyu persimmons

The variety of persimmons known as fuyu persimmons that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50345505 Frozen fuyu persimmons is a Commodity code that names a single fresh-produce line item, but state and local governments rarely solicit frozen fuyu persimmons specifically. Instead, the recent opportunities show that public bodies—school districts, state health agencies, county sheriffs, and child-care networks—source frozen and fresh produce as part of much broader food-service and nutrition procurement that spans multiple fruit and vegetable categories, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods in single consolidated bids or RFPs. The code's nominal scope does not match current buying patterns; frozen persimmons appear incidentally, if at all, within larger grocery or produce contracts rather than as standalone line items.

Recent solicitations come primarily from Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham, Early County, Bulloch County), Texas state health facilities (HHSC Big Spring State Hospital, HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center), and regional school nutrition cooperatives, with a smaller number of bids from Florida (Hillsborough County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and California (Santa Clara County Corrections). The opportunities span IFBs, RFPs, and ITBs issued between late January and mid-July 2026, with response dates ranging from early February through late July. Fresh produce contracts dominate: Hancock County Schools issued a 200+ line-item fresh produce bid due June 26, 2026; Savannah-Chatham County solicited 72 produce items due April 23, 2026; and the GEC Buying Cooperative (through Douglas County) sought fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts across Georgia with $4.4 million and $1.1 million estimated annual spend for two geographic areas, with proposals due March 4, 2026. Frozen-product opportunities appear in broader food-supply contracts: Texas HHS issued supplemental food and consumable bids covering 210 line items including frozen specialty foods with a $4.5 million maximum contract value; Oregon Department of Corrections solicited one truckload (40,000 pounds) of frozen berry berries at an estimated $35,600 contract value due April 23, 2026; and a New Jersey rebid sought frozen vegetables (Mixed Vegetables, Summer/California Blend) in 12/2-pound bags due June 17, 2026. The code shows substantial activity in school nutrition, state institutional food service, and child-care feeding programs, but frozen fuyu persimmons as a discrete procurement line are not evidenced in recent opportunities.
