UNSPSC 50365500: Canned or jarred persimmons

The type of fruit known as persimmons that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50365500 Canned or jarred persimmons (Class) does not reflect the procurement activity actually being solicited under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broader food service commodities for state institutions and school districts—a portfolio far broader than the nominal scope and dominated by fresh and processed fruits and vegetables well outside the persimmon category.

The issuing-body mix includes state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), school districts and school boards (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County, Douglas County, Muscogee County), and municipal nutrition programs (Bridgeport Board of Education). School districts represent the dominant buyers, with multiple simultaneous procurements for annual food supply. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas (three HHSC procurements covering statewide institutional foodservice), Georgia (Douglas County cooperative RFP spanning 30 districts, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Hancock County), and Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections canned applesauce bids). Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia districts with proposals due March 4, 2026. The code shows significant recent activity but the mismatch between the nominal "canned persimmons" scope and the actual mix of fresh produce, canned fruit, and institutional foodservice suggests the tagging is unrelated to this code's intended scope.
