UNSPSC 50333900: Dried organic 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 50333900 Dried organic kiwi fruit is a Class code representing a narrow product category within fresh and processed fruit procurement. State and local government purchasing under this code centers on school nutrition programs and correctional facility food service, where dried kiwi appears as one line item among broad fresh and processed fruit portfolios rather than as a standalone procurement driver. The solicitations show that kiwi is typically bundled with dozens of other produce items—apples, berries, citrus, tropical fruits, and vegetables—in consolidated fresh-produce buys by school districts and state agencies. Issuing bodies include county school boards, city boards of education, state departments, and state correctional systems; these are repeat buyers running annual or multi-year nutrition contracts. The work involves spec'd produce sourcing, HACCP compliance, Buy American certification (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items), delivery to multiple school or institutional sites, and firm pricing for the contract term.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce covering the 2026–27 school year with response due June 26, 2026, listing kiwis among over 200 line items for three school locations. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center (Connecticut) solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products with electronic submission due June 26, 2026, requiring MBE/CBE certification under local ordinance and compliance with the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act. The State of Georgia posted an IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued separate procurements including a broad cafeteria food products IFB (304T26300CF) with response due May 4, 2026, and a dedicated prunes procurement (IW236532) with response due February 20, 2026, showing that dried fruit sourcing occurs both as part of larger commodity bundles and as targeted single-item bids. No recent opportunities target dried organic kiwi exclusively; the code's purchasing appears limited and dispersed across institutional food-service categories where kiwi competes as a minor line item.
