UNSPSC 50386002: Black sapote persimmon purees

The variety of persimmons known as black sapote persimmon which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386002 Black sapote persimmon purees (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this code in recent postings. The recent opportunities show robust activity in food service procurement for schools, corrections facilities, state health agencies, and municipal purchasing, but the products being bought are mainstream commodities — canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, eggs, frozen entrees, dairy, proteins, and staple grocery items — not black sapote or persimmon purees. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually posted suggests this code either captures a narrow specialty item rarely procured at state and local scale or carries a classification error in the opportunity database.

State and local food service demand is concentrated in school districts (elementary through high schools plus central nutrition warehouses), followed by state corrections systems, state health and human services facilities (supported living centers, state hospitals), and municipal institutions. Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois, with the most active recent buyers being independent school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Douglas County, Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham), state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), and state health agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office). Representative procurements include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (response due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (covering 210 line items with historical annual spend of approximately $1.5 million per facility). The Douglas County School System RFP procuring fresh produce and eggs for 30 Georgia school districts estimated annual spend at approximately $4.4 million for one geographic area alone. These solicitations uniformly emphasize Buy American compliance, firm fixed pricing, USDA commodity standards, and delivery to multiple school sites or central distribution points on F.O.B. destination terms with no fuel surcharges.
