UNSPSC 50386003: Chapote black persimmon purees

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

UNSPSC 50386003 Chapote black persimmon purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The source records show nine recent opportunities spanning May through October 2026, but none solicits chapote black persimmon purees or products matching that specific description. Instead, issuing bodies are buying broad categories of shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, county senior services, and state veterans' homes—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, cafeteria proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and consumable supplies. The issuing bodies range across state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of TDCJ, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), cities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and independent school districts (Austin ISD). Georgia appears as the most active recent jurisdiction with three postings (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, and State of Georgia).

Opportunities are typically posted as IFBs or RFQs with response dates ranging from same-day to three weeks, and contract volumes range from approximately 1,062 cases (Gwinnett County food items, October 19, 2026) to 382 line items (TDCJ cafeteria products, extended to May 4, 2026). Representative recent solicitations include Oregon Department of Corrections canned fruit applesauce ITB (1,904 cases, due June 2, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.827 per case and 5 percent state-preference available), Texas HHSC food and consumables IFB for state supported living centers ($1.5 million prior-period guideline value, due July 13, 2026), Austin ISD dried fruit bars and apple crisps RFP (due July 16, 2026), and Hancock County Schools fresh produce IFB for school year 2027 (200+ line items across multiple produce types, due June 26, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent procurement activity suggests the code may be incorrectly tagged in the source data or that chapote black persimmon purees represent an extremely narrow commodity seeing little state and local demand.
