UNSPSC 50355501: Frozen organic american persimmon

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

UNSPSC 50355501 Frozen organic American persimmon, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within school nutrition procurement but does not appear in recent state and local contracting activity. The eight recent opportunities in the dataset span grocery items, fresh produce, frozen foods, eggs, and food supply and distribution services solicited by school districts and municipal purchasing offices, yet frozen organic persimmons are not mentioned as line items, specified products, or requested commodities in any of them. The code's nominal scope — a single frozen fruit product — sits at the far granular end of UNSPSC taxonomy, whereas the active procurement market for school nutrition centers on broad grocery and produce categories with hundreds of line items per solicitation, preferred-brand flexibility, and cost-plus-market-adjustment mechanisms that accommodate commodity price volatility but not specialty frozen-fruit procurement at the single-product level.

School districts and their food service departments do pursue frozen fruit through master grocery and frozen-food contracts, but purchasing patterns favor high-volume staples (apples, berries, carrots, potatoes) and prepared items over single specialty frozen products. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Decatur City Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) each issued IFBs or RFPs in the first half of 2026 for grocery, produce, and food-supply services with response dates ranging from February through June 2026, but none explicitly solicited frozen persimmons or similar specialty frozen fruits. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia and spans school districts in Connecticut and Missouri, yet the code shows no matching procurement signal in that footprint. Unless a bidder holds an existing grocery or frozen-food master contract with a school district and can add persimmons as a secondary line item under existing price frameworks, this code presents no actionable near-term opportunity.
