UNSPSC 50323902: Dried arctic beauty kiwi fruit

The variety of kiwi fruit known as arctic beauty kiwi fruit that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50323902 Dried arctic beauty kiwi fruit is a Commodity code that covers specialty dried fruit products purchased by school districts and other public institutions as part of broader food-service procurement. In practice, state and local governments buy this item as one line-item component within larger fresh and dried produce contracts for school nutrition programs and institutional food service — kiwis appear alongside apples, berries, melons, citrus, and specialty fruits within multi-hundred-item solicitations rather than as standalone dedicated buys. School districts dominate the recent solicitation activity, with Hancock County Schools in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut both issuing IFBs for comprehensive produce and commodity food service in June 2026. State corrections and criminal-justice food procurement (Texas Department of Criminal Justice) also appears in the recent record, though the archived opportunities show dried prunes rather than kiwis as the specific dried-fruit line item.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the South and Northeast, with recent opportunities posted from Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas between May and June 2026. Hancock County Schools (Sparta, Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce with response due June 26, 2026, specifying over 200 line items including kiwis among specialty fruits, with delivery to three school locations and a contract term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases similarly solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center on IFB BNB053266 with response due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items of food products and emphasizing Buy American compliance at 51 percent domestic content for processed items. Neither opportunity disclosed the unit price or total contract value for dried kiwi specifically, and kiwis represent a minor line within each broader solicitation rather than a primary procurement focus.
