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

UNSPSC 50353905 Frozen organic issai kiwi fruit is a Commodity code that in practice spans fresh and processed produce procurement by state and local food service operations—primarily school districts and county social-service departments buying shelf-stable and fresh produce for the National School Lunch Program, school breakfast programs, and senior nutrition initiatives. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show school districts and county boards soliciting comprehensive fresh produce assortments alongside frozen and shelf-stable items as part of multi-item food service contracts. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education) and county or state social-service agencies (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Department of Community Services, State of Georgia). All solicitations require compliance with Buy American provisions mandating a minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products, HACCP or food safety protocols, debarment verification, and E-Verify authorization; school-based awards also incorporate National School Lunch Program nutrition standards and whole-grain requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut.
