UNSPSC 50323900: Dried kiwi fruit

The egg-shaped kiwi fruit has a furry brownish green skin and firm, translucent green flesh with edible purple-black seeds at the centre. Also called chinese gooseberry, edible fruit of the vine actinidia chinensis (family actinidiaceae). The plant is native to china and taiwan and is now grown commercially in new zealand and california. It has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50323900 Dried kiwi fruit is a Class code that covers dehydrated kiwi products supplied primarily to school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. State and local governments procure dried kiwi under this code as specialty ingredients for school cafeteria menus and institutional food service, typically as part of broader fresh and dried produce buys. The solicitations show that purchasing bodies treat dried kiwi as one line item among dozens or hundreds of produce and food products in annual school nutrition contracts rather than as a standalone procurement category.

School districts across Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia dominate recent activity, supplemented by state corrections departments in Texas and a county jail system in California. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce in the 2026–27 school year due June 26, 2026, listing kiwis alongside apples, berries, and citrus as specialty produce items; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) and Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce contracts with April and May 2026 response dates that included kiwis in multi-hundred-line-item produce specifications. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) both issued master grocery contracts in April 2026 spanning hundreds of food items. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a cafeteria food products IFB (due May 4, 2026, with extension from April 21) and a separate prunes procurement, indicating institutional foodservice buyers in Texas also purchase dried fruit. The County of Santa Clara, California issued an ITB for dried fruits and nuts (due February 5, 2026) specifically for correctional facility food services. Most recent opportunities show dried kiwi embedded in larger composite food solicitations rather than as isolated procurements, limiting visibility of kiwi-specific demand signals or pricing patterns.
