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 (Class) does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The most recent opportunities solicited span a broad range of shelf-stable and fresh food products—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, poultry, cheese, vegetables, and mixed commodity food service items—but none specifically target canned or jarred organic persimmons. The code appears to be tagged to general food procurement solicitations without regard to the organic or persimmon specification embedded in the nominal code name. State and local buyers issuing under this code include county boards of education (Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Homes, Texas HHSC, Georgia and Texas state purchasing offices), county governments (Gwinnett County), and independent school districts (Austin ISD). The mix skews toward public institutions managing food service for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, and senior services.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC, TDCJ), Illinois (State of Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (ODOC), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 (IFB); the Oregon Department of Corrections' invitation to bid on 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026 (ITB); Austin Independent School District's request for proposals on dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026 (RFP); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's invitation for bids on supplemental food and consumable products across state hospitals and supported living centers, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. The mismatch between the code name and the work actually being solicited signals that this code is a poor fit for vendors specializing in organic persimmon products and warrants verification against actual agency commodity catalogs before pursuing opportunities tagged here.
