UNSPSC 50323905: Dried issai kiwi fruit

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

UNSPSC 50323905 Dried issai kiwi fruit, a Commodity code, represents a narrow slice of school nutrition and institutional food procurement where dried kiwi fruit and similar specialty dried fruits appear as line items within broader fresh or dried produce solicitations. State and local governments procuring under this code do so primarily as school districts and state corrections agencies stocking cafeteria and nutrition operations; the dried kiwi category itself is rarely the sole focus of a procurement, but instead surfaces alongside fresh fruit varieties, frozen entrees, vegetables, proteins, and dairy in multi-hundred-line-item food supply RFPs and IFBs. The work being solicited is delivery of compliant, domestically sourced (where Buy American provisions apply) specialty dried fruit to institutional food distribution centers and school nutrition facilities, with firm pricing over multi-year terms and FOB Destination delivery requirements.

Recent activity shows school districts and state agencies in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas as the primary buyers. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including kiwis, with bids due June 26, 2026, to supply three school locations through June 30, 2027; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut posted a broader commodities IFB on June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for 115 line items serving its Board of Education Nutrition Center; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products to supply TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic areas, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. The State of Georgia also solicited food, supplies, and other kitchen products on May 15, 2026, with a June 22, 2026 due date. All active solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items), HACCP and USDA documentation, firm fixed pricing for the contract term, and delivery to multiple institutional sites. Dried kiwi fruit, when included, appears as a minor commodity line within these larger nutrition supply contracts rather than as a standalone procurement driver.
