UNSPSC 50375504: Canned or jarred organic date plum persimmon

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

UNSPSC 50375504 Canned or jarred organic date plum persimmon is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable preserved fruit products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service—primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The recent solicitations under this code reveal that state and local buyers are acquiring a broad range of canned and preserved fruit items (applesauce, dried fruit bars, mixed fruit commodities, and fresh produce) as components of bulk food procurement rather than the specific organic date plum persimmon product the code nominally describes. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health agencies, county school boards, municipal school districts, county social services departments, and state facilities serving vulnerable populations. The work involves responding to Invitations for Bid (IFB), Requests for Proposals (RFP), and informal written quotes with firm fixed pricing, delivery-to-site logistics, compliance with USDA commodity standards and Buy American provisions where applicable, and multi-unit or single-award decisions based on lowest responsive bid or best value.

Recent activity clusters in the South and Pacific Northwest, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026) with a historical award at $21.84 per case; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026) for delivery to a senior services center; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting bids for food and consumable products serving state-supported living centers statewide (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; and Hancock County Board of Education bidding fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year spanning over 200 line items across multiple varieties (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026). The code shows no recent solicitations specifically targeting organic date plum persimmon products, indicating minimal alignment between the Commodity code definition and actual state and local procurement activity in this category.
