UNSPSC 50365506: Canned or jarred giant fuyu persimmons

The variety of persimmons known as giant fuyu persimmons that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50365506 Canned or jarred giant fuyu persimmons is a Commodity code that spans shelf-stable and processed fruit products procured by state and local food service operations, school nutrition programs, and correctional and health facilities. The recent state and local activity under this code shows that procurement offices are acquiring canned and jarred fruit products — including applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh or processed fruit for institutional nutrition programs — rather than persimmons specifically. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), counties (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), cities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), and corrections and health facilities. The code activity reflects broad food commodity procurement for cafeteria and food service operations across correctional facilities, veterans homes, state-supported living centers, senior services, and K–12 nutrition programs.

Recent opportunities span multiple states with notable concentration in the South and West. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted repeated ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 1,900–4,700 cases per solicitation, ITB S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026, with historical award to MJ Kellner and Robbins Sales at approximately $21.83–$21.83 per case). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has issued multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (proposals due August 24, 2026, and June 17, 2026). Texas procurements include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2, a $4.5 million estimated value over three years covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers) and the Texas Comptroller's TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB (304T26300CF, 382 line items across five warehouse locations, response extended to May 4, 2026). Gwinnett County in Georgia issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). Hancock County Schools in Georgia solicited fresh produce for 2026–27 (over 200 line items, IFB due June 26, 2026). The City of Bridgeport sought commodities for its nutrition center including eggs, poultry, and fruit and vegetable products (115 line items, BNB053266, due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE set-asides applicable). Austin Independent School District issued an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026). Buy American provisions and prevailing wage requirements appear frequently in state and school district procurements; Oregon offers 5 percent preferences for in-state processing and resident bidders.
