UNSPSC 50375500: Canned or jarred organic persimmons

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

UNSPSC 50375500 Canned or jarred organic persimmons, a Class code, encompasses state and local procurement of shelf-stable fruit products for institutional food service, though recent solicitation activity under this code tag shows predominantly canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce rather than persimmons specifically. State and local buyers—school districts, state corrections and health agencies, and municipal nutrition programs—solicit these items as components of broader food-service contracts to support child nutrition programs, inmate meals, and facility cafeterias. Issuing bodies span independent school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), and municipal agencies (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut; Dallas Independent School District). Institutional food service represents the dominant use case, with school nutrition programs accounting for the majority of recent opportunities, followed by corrections, state-hospital, and state-supported-living-center procurement. Typical line-item volumes range from dozens (Austin ISD's dried fruit bars) to over 400 items (Liberty County Board of Education), with annual contract values estimated in the millions for large districts and state systems.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Connecticut, Virginia, and Illinois, with Texas appearing most frequently across multiple issuing bodies (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and a combined 10% state-preference markup; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 fresh-produce line items due June 26, 2026, requiring 51% domestic content and delivery to three school sites; and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated spend of $5.5 million annually. Buy American and domestic-content preferences appear consistently, with most school-based solicitations requiring minimum 51% domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products or firm pricing tied to USDA market indices. State-level set-asides and preferences vary—Oregon applies a combined 10% preference for Oregon-processed goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders; Texas does not specify HUB subcontracting plan requirements but encourages submissions; Georgia and Connecticut apply Buy American provisions. Contract terms typically run one school year (July through June) with renewal options of one to four additional years, pricing fixed for the term with limited midterm adjustment allowances tied to manufacturer price increases of 5% or greater. Delivery-schedule intensity and warehouse logistics are standard requirements, with most school districts mandating Monday-through-Friday deliveries between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. to multiple school sites or central distribution centers.
