UNSPSC 50303905: Issai kiwi fruit

The variety of kiwi fruit known as issai kiwi fruit

UNSPSC 50303905 Issai kiwi fruit is a Commodity code that frames a narrow product line, yet recent state and local solicitations show little procurement activity specifically for Issai kiwis. The code nominally identifies a single kiwi cultivar, but the recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations naming Issai kiwis or any kiwi variety by name. Instead, the block documents seventeen fresh produce solicitations across multiple issuing bodies—state departments of corrections and mental health, school districts, cities, and county boards—soliciting fresh fruits and vegetables in bulk for food service, meal programs, and senior centers. None of the solicitations isolate kiwis as a line item or specify kiwi cultivars; the category is absorbed into broader produce specifications spanning apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and melons. The absence of Issai-kiwi-specific demand in these records suggests either that the code is not in active use by state and local buyers, or that kiwis appear as minor commodity items folded into larger RFPs without stand-alone line-item solicitation.

Procurement activity is concentrated among Texas state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice food warehouse contracts), school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bartow County, Early County, and Bryan County in Georgia; DeSoto County in Mississippi; Bridgeport in Connecticut), county and city food-service departments (Collier County Florida; City of Edinburg Texas; Marion Health Care Coalition; Head Start of Greater Dallas; City of San Antonio; City of Bridgeport Connecticut), and state mental health and corrections facilities (Illinois Department of Mental Health, Illinois Department of Corrections). Most recent activity clusters in the South and Midwest, with Georgia school nutrition solicitations appearing frequently. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items due June 26, 2026, both emphasizing domestic sourcing, HACCP compliance, and delivery to school nutrition sites. No solicitation names Issai kiwis specifically, and the evidence does not support pursuing this code as a focused kiwi-supply opportunity.
