UNSPSC 50345511: Frozen sharon fruit persimmon

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

UNSPSC 50345511 Frozen sharon fruit persimmon (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity actually being conducted. Recent solicitations tagged with frozen produce codes and broader grocery categories procure mainstream frozen food items—berries, vegetables, mixed frozen products—rather than sharon fruit persimmons, a specialty tropical commodity that does not appear in any of the representative recent opportunities. The code appears to reflect a narrow product classification that state and local food service procurement offices rarely isolate in their RFP and IFB structures.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting frozen and fresh produce include school districts (Hancock County and Douglas County in Georgia, Hillsborough County in Florida, Bulloch County in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Henry County in Georgia, and Rockwood R-VI in Missouri), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC for state hospital and supported living center operations), county correction facilities (Santa Clara County, Oregon Department of Corrections), Head Start organizations, and municipal departments. Recent opportunities in this general food procurement space show activity concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Missouri, and Oregon from January through July 2026. Representative solicitations include Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's IFB for grocery items supporting the Board of Education's food service operation (due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026), and Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP for frozen foods, produce, and meat to support child care programs (due June 24, 2026, estimated value $969,460.94). These solicitations emphasize bulk supply, firm pricing, delivery to multiple sites, HACCP compliance, and adherence to USDA nutrition standards and Buy American provisions. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the specific commodity named; vendors pursuing state and local food procurement should focus on broader frozen-vegetable, frozen-fruit, and mixed frozen-food categories rather than this specialized persimmon classification.
