UNSPSC 50355503: Frozen organic chapote/black persimmon

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

UNSPSC 50355503 Frozen organic chapote/black persimmon is a Commodity code that represents a single frozen specialty fruit product line. State and local procurement activity under this code is sparse; the source contains no recent solicitations explicitly seeking frozen chapote or black persimmon. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve school district and municipal grocery and produce procurement—primarily fresh produce contracts, comprehensive grocery item bids supporting National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, and food supply and distribution services. These opportunities span hundreds of line items across vegetables, fruits, meats, dairy, grains, and prepared items, but frozen chapote or black persimmon does not appear among the itemized products in any of the six recent solicitations reviewed. The code's tagging appears inconsistent with actual procurement scope, suggesting either a data-entry mismatch or that frozen chapote is a negligible subset of broader food service contracts.

Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Early County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), city school systems (City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and a state purchasing office (State of Georgia). The geographic spread centers on Georgia, with activity also in Connecticut and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items solicitation (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid for 2026-27 (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), and Douglas County School System's cooperative procurement for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts (RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million across both geographic areas). All contracts emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, firm fixed pricing including freight, and delivery to multiple school sites. No recent solicitation activity directly targets frozen chapote or black persimmon procurement.
