UNSPSC 50386009: Principe ito persimmon purees

The variety of persimmons known as principe ito persimmons which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386009 Principe ito persimmon purees, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code's title suggests specialty fruit purees, yet state and local governments are purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, supplemental food and consumable products, and main-line food service distribution under this designation. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Austin Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Dallas Independent School District), correctional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and municipal authorities (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (response due July 16, 2026), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center and other facilities (response due July 13, 2026, estimated historical value $1.5 million annually).

Geographic activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. The Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution (response due February 18, 2026, estimated annual expenditure $9 million) and the related Douglas County RFP 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 Georgia school districts (estimated annual spending $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two) represent among the largest recent opportunities. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables statewide (maximum potential contract value $4.5 million over three years, bid response deadline February 23, 2026) and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivering to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (response due April 27, 2026) signal substantial institutional procurement volume. Most recent activity reflects school nutrition programs and institutional food service for correctional facilities and state-operated health services facilities, typically requiring firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, USDA specification adherence, and delivery to multiple designated locations on regular schedules. The code's actual usage by state and local governments does not align with persimmon purees, indicating either systematic miscoding or use of this commodity number as a catch-all for general fruit and food products in certain procurement systems.
