UNSPSC 50375511: Canned or jarred organic sharon fruit persimmon

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

UNSPSC 50375511 Canned or jarred organic sharon fruit persimmon is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice encompasses canned and jarred fruit products more broadly—applesauce, pears, and other shelf-stable fruit preparations—purchased primarily by correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, health and human services institutions, and independent school districts for food service operations. The work involves sourcing USDA-compliant canned fruit products, often with specific sweetness and texture specifications, for institutional meal service delivery on firm-fixed-price contracts with FOB destination terms and multi-truckload or case-unit delivery schedules. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, county and municipal school districts, and regional school cooperatives, with school districts representing the dominant buyer category across recent solicitations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Georgia (multiple county school systems including Hancock County, Douglas County, and Savannah-Chatham County systems), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a July 31, 2026 response date and historical pricing of $21.84 per case; Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps with a July 16, 2026 due date; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a July 13, 2026 deadline and a prior-period contract value of $1.5 million. Buy American provisions appear regularly across school district solicitations, with most requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products and strict USDA commodity compliance, firm pricing for contract periods (often 12 months with renewal options), and delivery to multiple institutional sites on weekly or scheduled intervals.
