UNSPSC 50365509: Canned or jarred principe ito persimmons

The variety of persimmons known as principe ito persimmons that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50365509 Canned or jarred principe ito persimmons is a Commodity code that covers the procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products, though recent state and local opportunities show minimal direct activity under this specific code. Instead, buying entities are sourcing broadly across processed and fresh produce categories—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce for school nutrition programs, and multipurpose food commodities—rather than persimmons specifically. The issuing bodies span state agencies (departments of corrections, health and human services), county boards of education, county purchasing offices, city boards of education, independent school districts, and state offices of procurement. Repeat buyers include the State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, issuing multiple quarterly food-order RFPs), the Oregon Department of Corrections (bidding canned applesauce in two separate ITBs), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplemental and general food-and-consumables IFBs), and school districts and boards of education across Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut.

Recent activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (historical price $21.84 per case) with delivery to Salem by five truck loads, due July 31, 2026; the Texas HHSC's IFB for supplemental food and consumable products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with 210 line items and a three-year maximum value of $4.5 million; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (35 line items) due October 19, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and citrus, due June 26, 2026; and the City of Bridgeport's IFB for 115 line items of commodities to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center, due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable. Most solicitations use IFB or IFQ methods, target school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, require FOB destination delivery, mandate firm fixed pricing, and enforce Buy American provisions or domestic-content requirements.
