UNSPSC 50375505: Canned or jarred organic fuyu persimmons

The variety of organic persimmons known as organic fuyu persimmons that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50375505 Canned or jarred organic fuyu persimmons is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product category within state and local food procurement. Recent opportunities show that this code appears infrequently in active solicitations; the most recent state and local postings feature a broad range of canned and fresh fruit products (applesauce, fresh produce spanning multiple varieties, and dried fruit bars) rather than organic persimmons specifically. State and local governments procuring under related fruit and food commodity codes buy shelf-stable and refrigerated food items for institutional meal service—school districts, corrections facilities, state supported living centers, senior services, and veterans homes. The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county agencies (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), and municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport). These jurisdictions source food through IFB, RFP, RFQ, and informal quote methods, with purchasing cycles typically annual or quarterly tied to fiscal-year funding and meal-service planning. The broader food commodity market shows recurring buyers, particularly state departments operating large institutional facilities and school nutrition programs operating under federal Buy American provisions and state prevailing wage requirements.

Recent activity in related fruit and food commodities appears concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Midwest (Illinois), though the source records do not isolate solicitations specifically for organic persimmons. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (posted May 18, 2026, due June 2, 2026, and posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026), with historical award pricing near $21.82–$21.84 per case and a 5 percent Oregon-fabricated and 5 percent resident-bidder preference. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted a large supplemental food and consumables IFB (posted May 19, 2026, due March 19, 2026, representing a $4.5 million potential value across three years) covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and refrigerated products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items via informal written quote (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026) for senior services. Austin Independent School District issued an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (posted June 26, 2026, due July 16, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education requested fresh produce including multiple apple and berry varieties for the 2026–27 school year (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026). The source records show no active solicitations specifically naming organic fuyu persimmons as a line item, suggesting the code may see limited state and local procurement activity currently.
