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 (Commodity) represents a narrow specialty-food category that state and local governments buy primarily as components of institutional food service for corrections, health care, schools, and social services. Recent solicitations under this code show substantial divergence from the nominal taxonomy: active procurement activity in the geographic region covers canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, dried fruit products, fresh produce, and mixed prepared foods rather than date plum persimmons specifically. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Austin Independent School District, and state-supported living centers are the dominant repeat issuing bodies. The mix reflects corrections agencies and state health systems driving volume, with school nutrition programs and specialized child nutrition services representing secondary segments.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Missouri, Connecticut, and other scattered states. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (July 31, 2026 response due) for 4,760 cases of canned fruit applesauce delivered to Salem, Oregon at approximately $21.84 per case historically; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (July 16, 2026 response due) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps delivered to the district's central warehouse; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (July 13, 2026 response due) covering food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical annual expenditure of $1.5 million. The code shows active procurement velocity but minimal direct alignment with the published commodity definition—opportunities cluster around commodity-category food service supply (bread, dairy, proteins, frozen items, canned goods, and fresh produce) rather than preserved specialty fruits. Bidders should treat this code as a catch-all for state and local food-service procurement and confirm actual line-item scope in each RFP or ITB, as the code title does not reliably predict opportunity content.
