UNSPSC 50313902: Organic arctic beauty kiwi fruit

The variety of organic kiwi fruit known as organic arctic beauty kiwi fruit

UNSPSC 50313902 Organic arctic beauty kiwi fruit is a Commodity code that in practice does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this tag. The recent opportunities show no procurement of organic kiwis; instead, school districts across the country are using this code designation while soliciting fresh produce contracts that span dozens of commodity types—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, specialty fruits, and eggs—for school nutrition programs serving breakfast and lunch under the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. The issuing bodies are exclusively school districts, boards of education, and school nutrition departments operating at the district level or through cooperative purchasing vehicles like the GEC Buying Cooperative. This code shows a pronounced mismatch between its nominal scope and recent transactional activity.

School districts in Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, and Utah posted the most recent opportunities between February and July 2026, with Georgia school systems dominating the sample—Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Bulloch County, Hancock County, and Douglas County School System all issued fresh produce RFPs or IFBs with response dates between late March and late July 2026. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 (petite bananas, due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 (fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with local-sourcing and diversity-program preferences, due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 fresh produce line items (due June 26, 2026); and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 72 produce items serving 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026). Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, require HACCP plans, Buy American certification, delivery to school sites on fixed schedules, and emphasize quality, fill rates, food safety, and compliance with USDA nutrition standards. The code's current use by school systems appears to be either a data-entry error or a legacy tagging convention that does not align with UNSPSC's stated taxonomy.
