UNSPSC 50303906: Siberian kiwi fruit

The variety of kiwi fruit known as siberian kiwi fruit

UNSPSC 50303906 Siberian kiwi fruit (Commodity) does not reflect the actual procurement activity state and local governments are conducting under this code. The recent opportunities tagged with this commodity code predominantly solicit fresh produce distribution and food service supply to correctional facilities, schools, mental health centers, senior centers, and child care programs, with kiwis appearing as line items within broad fresh-fruit-and-vegetable categories rather than as standalone procurement drivers. The scope spans comprehensive produce sourcing—apples, bananas, leafy greens, root vegetables, tomatoes, berries, melts, and citrus—delivered fresh on weekly or bi-weekly schedules to institutional foodservice operations. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and mental health (Texas TDCJ, Illinois DOC, Illinois DMH), school districts and boards of education (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County, DeSoto County in Georgia and Mississippi), cities and counties (San Antonio, Collier County, Bridgeport, Marion County), child care and Head Start programs, and senior services divisions. Texas correctional facilities and Georgia school nutrition programs appear most frequently in recent solicitations.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Mississippi. Representative recent procurements include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh-fruit-and-vegetable supply contracts for food warehouses in Palestine (IW267376, due October 19, 2026) and Snyder and Wynne (IW267420, IW267411, due October 14, 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections' fresh-produce RFQ for Joliet Treatment Center (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026, small business set-aside); the Bartow County School System's local-produce RFP requiring sourcing within 400 miles (10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District's bids for petite bananas (RFB 4162, $78,000 estimated annual value, due July 29, 2026) and fresh-fruit-and-vegetable snacks with Wisconsin-source and diversity preferences (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026); Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB for grocery products totaling $969,460.94 (due June 24, 2026); and Collier County's ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025, local-vendor preference 10 points). Buy American requirements, HACCP compliance, prevailing-wage certification, and WBE/MBE/SBE set-asides or preferences appear frequently across jurisdictions.
