UNSPSC 50345508: Frozen mabolo/butter fruit persimmon

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

UNSPSC 50345508 Frozen mabolo/butter fruit persimmon is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity directly matching its nominal scope; state and local procurement under this code shows no solicitations specifically for frozen mabolo or butter fruit persimmon. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect a far broader pattern: school districts, state health and human services agencies, county governments, and correctional facilities are actively procuring comprehensive food service supplies—fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery staples, dairy, proteins, and prepared items—under food commodity codes. The work being solicited spans multi-line-item food service contracts supporting school nutrition programs (breakfast and lunch), state hospital and supported living center operations, child care facilities, and correctional institutions, with vendors required to meet USDA nutrition standards, Buy American provisions where applicable, HACCP compliance, food safety certifications, and delivery schedules tied to institutional meal service cycles.

Activity is concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Connecticut, with scattered opportunities in California, Oregon, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026, approximately $32,226 in baseline annual spend), the City of Bridgeport's IFB for school nutrition grocery items across 1,100 line items with Buy American and nutrition-standard requirements (due June 30, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB for frozen foods and produce under Child and Adult Care Food Program standards (estimated $969,460.94 procurement value), and multiple school district fresh-produce and grocery procurements in Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County) with contract terms running through June 2027. The code's nominal commodity—a specialized tropical fruit—does not align with these solicitations; the recent activity reflects general food service and institutional procurement rather than a discrete frozen-fruit category.
