UNSPSC 50353903: Frozen organic blake kiwi fruit

The variety of organic kiwi fruit known as organic blake kiwi fruit that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50353903 Frozen organic blake kiwi fruit is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty frozen fruit products for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers classify frozen and fresh produce—including kiwis alongside apples, berries, melons, and root vegetables—under broader grocery and produce categories rather than as line-item specialty fruits. The school districts and boards of education issuing these opportunities treat frozen kiwi fruit as one component within large multi-item fresh or frozen produce contracts that may span 70 to 200+ line items. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Early County, Decatur, Rockwood, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County, all in Georgia or nearby states), with one state-level procurement from Georgia. These districts support National School Lunch Program compliance and enforce Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content for processed products), HACCP plans, food recall accessibility, and nutrition standards including whole grain and low-sodium requirements.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Georgia and neighboring states. Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education RFP for Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), which specified over 200 line items including kiwis and mangos alongside standard produce, with delivery to three school locations and contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases IFB for Grocery Items (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), spanning over 1,100 line items with frozen products among breakfast, snacks, and condiments for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for Fresh Produce and Eggs issued through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026), covering 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. All contracts specify firm fixed pricing including packing and transportation with no separate fuel surcharges, require Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms, and permit award to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
