UNSPSC 50313904: Organic hayward kiwi fruit

The variety of organic kiwi fruit known as organic hayward kiwi fruit

UNSPSC 50313904 Organic hayward kiwi fruit is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses fresh produce distribution to school nutrition programs, with recent solicitations showing that state and local governments buy fresh fruits, vegetables, and related produce items for institutional food service rather than organic kiwis specifically. School districts across Georgia, Florida, Texas, Utah, and Wisconsin are the dominant issuing bodies, with a secondary pattern of cooperative purchasing vehicles (such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts) coordinating multi-district procurements. The work solicited includes weekly or twice-weekly deliveries of fresh produce in bulk case quantities to elementary, middle, and high schools, often combined with USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) contracts that supply pre-cut or ready-to-eat produce to younger students outside regular meal service. Scope includes compliance with Buy American provisions (requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items), HACCP food safety plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, traceability documentation by farm of origin, temperature-controlled delivery between early morning hours (typically 5:00 to 7:00 a.m.), and firm pricing structures indexed to USDA market reports or regional wholesale pricing benchmarks.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and adjacent southeastern states, with notable solicitations from the Douglas County School System (serving 30 school districts through the GEC cooperative for approximately $5.5 million combined), the Glynn County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and Hancock County Schools. Outside the Southeast, Austin Independent School District (Texas), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Salt Lake City School District (Utah), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), and Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) have posted produce solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (response due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks requiring Wisconsin or within-400-miles sourcing (response due July 29, 2026); Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (proposals due March 4, 2026) covering 72 produce line items for 30 districts with estimated combined annual spending near $5.5 million; and Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 for fresh produce (bids due April 14, 2026) with weekly Tuesday deliveries to 16 school locations. Most solicitations use IFB or RFP notice types with annual contract terms running July 1 through June 30, and many include local-sourcing preferences, geographic preference scoring, or farm-to-school program alignment in evaluation criteria.
