UNSPSC 50355502: Frozen organic black sapote persimmon

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

UNSPSC 50355502 Frozen organic black sapote persimmon is a Commodity code that describes a single specialty fruit product, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show no procurement activity for frozen organic black sapote persimmons or any frozen sapote varieties. Instead, the opportunities span broad grocery and fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs—frozen foods, fresh apples, berries, vegetables, citrus fruits, dairy, and prepared entrees—none of which align with the code's nominal scope. State and local buyers issuing under this code include school districts (City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia) and one state procurement office (State of Georgia). The issuing bodies are primarily K–12 school nutrition programs serving National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program mandates, with contracts running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.

Recent opportunities show strong activity in Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary activity in Missouri. Representative procurements include the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's electronic IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 fresh produce items due June 26, 2026; Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food and non-food bid due June 8, 2026; City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026; Rockwood School District's NUTRIKIDS electronic bid for over 900 grocery items due April 29, 2026; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce bid for 72 items due April 23, 2026; and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts, with proposals due March 4, 2026 and estimated spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by geographic area. The code shows a mismatch between its commodity definition and actual procurement usage; frozen organic black sapote persimmons do not appear in any recent opportunity summary.
