UNSPSC 50343900 Frozen kiwi fruit is a Class code that encompasses frozen specialty produce items purchased by state and local government food service operations, though recent solicitations show the code capturing frozen fruit procurement within much broader grocery and food service supply contracts rather than standalone frozen kiwi fruit specifications. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts, state health and human services agencies, county correctional facilities, and regional nutrition programs. School nutrition programs represent the dominant category of buyers—Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Early County Board of Education, Fulton County Schools, and Rockwood R-VI School District all issue recurring annual bids for comprehensive food and produce procurement that includes frozen fruits alongside fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared items. State-level institutional food service buyers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (procuring for state hospitals and state supported living centers), the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the New Jersey Department of Human Services. Head Start of Greater Dallas and Hillsborough County Public Schools' USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) represent federally funded nutrition initiatives that incorporate fresh and frozen specialty produce.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with significant ongoing procurement from school districts in both states. Georgia school systems—Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Early County, Fulton County, and the City Schools of Decatur—have issued multiple RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs for school year 2026-27 contracts with response dates between April and June 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two separate IFBs (HHS0017660 for Big Spring State Hospital, due July 27, 2026, and HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026) covering food and consumable products for state institutions.

These procurements typically require firm, fixed pricing for twelve-month terms with optional renewals; compliance with Buy American provisions for domestic agricultural content; HACCP plans and food safety certifications; delivery to multiple school sites or institutional locations during specified hours; and insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2 million in general liability coverage.
