UNSPSC 50375502: Canned or jarred organic black sapote persimmon

The variety of organic persimmons known as organic black sapote persimmon that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50375502 Canned or jarred organic black sapote persimmon, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, though recent opportunities show minimal direct buying of this specific commodity and instead reflect broader purchases of canned and jarred fruit, fresh produce, and general food staples for schools, correctional facilities, senior services, veterans' homes, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county social-services agencies (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and municipal nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport). Canned fruit procurement appears routinely in food-service RFQs, IFBs, and RFPs where applesauce, mixed fruit, and specialty canned items anchor commodity baskets alongside proteins, dairy, grains, and fresh produce.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Illinois), with the most recent posted opportunity being Gwinnett County's October 13, 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins due October 19, 2026, followed by the State of Illinois's August 19, 2026 proposals for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal tracks, due August 24, 2026) and the Oregon Department of Corrections's July 10, 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 with historical pricing at $21.84 per case. School districts and state institutions generally issue these solicitations on annual or quarterly cycles with firm pricing for the contract term, Buy American compliance requirements where applicable, and awards to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or best-value criteria. The code shows measurable activity but no opportunities specific to organic black sapote persimmon; bidders pursuing this code should expect to compete in mixed-basket institutional food service procurements where canned fruit represents one line item among dozens.
