UNSPSC 50363900 Canned or jarred kiwi fruit is a Class code that encompasses preserved kiwi fruit products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service operations. The recent opportunities under this code reveal that state and local buyers are actually purchasing a much broader range of preserved and fresh fruit products—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, and eggs—for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state health agencies, and special-population institutions. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Douglas County), county boards of education (Hancock County in Georgia), and city procurement offices (Bridgeport, Connecticut). School nutrition programs account for the plurality of recent activity, with recurring multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles (the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts) expanding the scope of individual school-district solicitations.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in the Midwest (Missouri, Illinois) and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a 10 percent combined state-goods and state-resident preference; Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (including kiwis, mangos, and specialty fruit) with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs to serve 30 Georgia school districts across two geographic areas with proposals due March 4, 2026, and estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined. Pricing structures vary—Oregon and school-district procurements typically require firm fixed unit pricing delivered FOB destination, while some school districts employ index-based markup models tied to USDA market reports or require cost-plus-fixed-fee proposals. Most school-district contracts run July-to-June annual cycles and permit renewal for one to four additional one-year terms at the issuing body's discretion.
