UNSPSC 50363903: Canned or jarred blake kiwi fruit

The variety of kiwi fruit known as blake kiwi fruit that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50363903 Canned or jarred blake kiwi fruit is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable processed fruit products—applesauce, dried fruit bars, canned pears, fresh produce, eggs, and broader food-service commodities—far beyond the nominal code scope. Recent solicitations show the code is being applied loosely across food-service procurement categories, with state departments, school districts, and health and human services agencies using it as a catch-all for food and consumable purchases that do not fit narrower commodity classifications. The Oregon Department of Corrections, school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Illinois, and state health commissions dominate the issuing-body mix; the code appears to serve as a flexible tagging mechanism for nutrition and food-service procurement across K–12, corrections, and health-care settings rather than a precise classification of canned kiwi fruit products specifically. School districts are the most active repeat buyers, with Hancock County (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Liberty County (Georgia), Muscogee County (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham (Georgia), Fairfax County (Virginia), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas) all posting food-service opportunities recently; state agencies including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice) also appear frequently.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Texas, with Georgia school districts posting the heaviest volume of fresh-produce and food-supply solicitations between February and June 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, closing July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical price of $21.84 per case; Hancock County Schools posting an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026); Austin Independent School District issuing RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting supplemental food and consumables statewide under IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) posting RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined (due March 4, 2026). Pricing in food-service solicitations typically remains firm fixed for contract periods ranging from one to three years, with delivery to school nutrition centers, state facilities, and correctional institutions on FOB destination, prepaid terms; Buy American and USDA compliance mandates are standard, and most school districts require 51 percent domestic content in processed products.
