UNSPSC 50355504: Frozen organic date plum persimmon

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

UNSPSC 50355504 Frozen organic date plum persimmon, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The most recent opportunities solicited under this code involve comprehensive grocery and food service procurement by school districts and municipalities — fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, meats, breads, condiments, and related food service supplies for child nutrition programs — rather than the specialized frozen organic fruit product the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's specific commodity scope and the broad food-service categories actually being tagged suggests either a data-entry error in the indexing system or a vendor classification practice that does not match the UNSPSC hierarchy.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with Georgia school systems appearing most frequently in recent postings: Douglas County School System (RFPs for food supply and distribution and fresh produce through the GEC Buying Cooperative), Hancock County Board of Education (fresh produce IFB), Early County Board of Education (food and non-food products), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (fresh produce bid), and City Schools of Decatur (frozen foods and grocery IFB). Outside Georgia, the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri and the City of Bridgeport in Connecticut both issued recent grocery bids. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the Board of Education (response deadline June 30, 2026), Hancock County Schools' June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ items (due June 26, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through a 30-district cooperative purchasing vehicle with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million (responses due March 4, 2026). All require Buy American compliance at 51 percent domestic content, HACCP plans, firm fixed pricing with transportation prepaid, and compliance with federal child nutrition regulations. Code activity concentrates in Georgia and the Southeast, with secondary activity in the Midwest and Northeast.
