UNSPSC 50386000: Persimmon purees

The type of fruit known as persimmons which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386000 Persimmon purees is a Class code that in practice encompasses a broader range of shelf-stable and fresh fruit products for institutional food service — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed food commodities — rather than persimmon purees specifically. State and local governments procure these items through school nutrition departments, corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, county health and human services divisions, and municipal education boards. Issuing bodies solicit through informal written quotes (IWQ), invitations to bid (ITB), invitations for bids (IFB), and requests for proposals (RFP), typically with response windows of one to four weeks and delivery requirements within 60 to 90 days. Vendors must comply with USDA commodity specifications, FDA food standards, Buy American provisions where applicable (51 percent domestic content for processed products in school nutrition procurement), and maintain general commercial liability insurance of $1 million to $2 million per occurrence depending on the purchasing entity.

Recent activity spans multiple states and issuing-body types. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 1,900 to 4,700 cases per award, $21.84 per case historical pricing, with Oregon goods and resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent each). Texas Health and Human Services Commission has solicited supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide via IFB with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million. Austin Independent School District issued an RFP in July 2026 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items (including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces) via informal written quote in October 2026, with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year via IFB in June 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Comptroller) have also posted recent commodity food procurement covering eggs, poultry, proteins, dairy, fruits, and vegetables with firm pricing and 12-month contract terms.
