UNSPSC 50386008: Mabolo butter fruit persimmon purees

The variety of persimmons known as mabolo butter fruit persimmon which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386008 Mabolo butter fruit persimmon purees is a Commodity code that sees little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's abstract description does not match the concrete work being solicited under it by state and local governments. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, leafy greens, eggs), frozen and refrigerated food products, and meal-service distribution—a diverse mix of food procurement that diverges sharply from the code's narrow product definition. School districts, state corrections and health agencies, and municipal nutrition programs are the primary issuing bodies, but the work they are actually buying falls outside the mabolo-persimmon-puree category.

Activity is distributed across Oregon, Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs and state institutional food service being the most active buyers. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026), the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce across multiple line items (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP for food supply and distribution to serve approximately 25,500 students statewide (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026). The code classification appears to be a categorical mismatch—state and local procurement activity under this number encompasses broad food-service provisioning rather than the specialized tropical fruit puree product named in the code itself, suggesting either a tagging error in the source data or that the code has been repurposed for general food commodity procurement at the state and local level.
