UNSPSC 50303904: Hayward kiwi fruit

The variety of kiwi fruit known as hayward kiwi fruit

UNSPSC 50303904 Hayward kiwi fruit is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh produce and produce items for food service operations, though recent activity under this specific code shows limited direct relevance. The recent opportunities reflect broader fresh-produce sourcing across institutional food services—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, and child care programs—rather than procurement narrowly specified to Hayward kiwis. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county boards of education and school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bartow County, Early County, DeSoto County in Georgia and Mississippi), cities and municipalities (City of Bridgeport, City of Edinburg, City of San Antonio), and specialized food-service organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). The work solicited spans fresh-produce supply and delivery contracts ranging from single-item procurements (petite bananas, fresh fruits and vegetables snacks) to comprehensive food-service packages encompassing hundreds of line items (groceries, CACFP meal programs, school nutrition full-scope bids). Vendors face requirements including HACCP plans, compliance with Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content in some jurisdictions), food-safety certifications, prevailing-wage compliance in certain states, and liability insurance minimums from $500,000 to $1,000,000.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Mississippi, with school nutrition programs representing the dominant purchasing segment. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing multiple solicitations for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to food warehouses serving correctional facilities (IFB IW267420 and IW267411, due October 14, 2026, and IFB IW267376 for Palestine, due October 19, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District requesting bids for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, with geographic sourcing within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin-certified diversity preference); Head Start of Greater Dallas seeking primary, secondary, and tertiary grocery suppliers for approximately 32,409 cases of produce annually (IFB 26-GP, June 24, 2026, total estimated procurement $969,460.94); and Bartow County School System in Georgia requesting local fresh fruits and vegetables from farms within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026, for the 2026-2027 school year with renewal options). Contract terms typically run one school or fiscal year with one to four renewal options. Geographic preferences favoring local or regional vendors appear in Wisconsin and Georgia solicitations, while Buy American and domestic-sourcing mandates appear across federal-funded nutrition programs.
