UNSPSC 50363904: Canned or jarred hayward kiwi fruit

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

UNSPSC 50363904 Canned or jarred Hayward kiwi fruit is a Commodity code that captures shelf-stable fruit products state and local governments procure for institutional food service, though recent opportunities show minimal direct sourcing under this specific code and instead reflect broader canned-fruit procurement spanning applesauce, mixed vegetables, and processed-fruit components within larger food-service contracts. The issuing bodies soliciting under related fruit and canned-food categories include county boards of education and county purchasing offices (notably Gwinnett County, Georgia, and Hancock County, Georgia), state corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state veterans homes (Illinois Chief Procurement Office for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), and municipal purchasing departments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). These institutions use RFP, IFB, and informal-quote methods to procure food products on annual or quarterly cycles, typically bundling canned fruit with other shelf-stable items, frozen proteins, dairy, and fresh produce in integrated food-service contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Tennessee) and appears across Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut in recent postings from May through October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written-quote solicitation (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables for the Department of Community Services; the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for canned applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026) targeting 4,760 cases at a historical price of $21.84 per case; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792V2) to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, encompassing 210 line items with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Buy American requirements and minimum domestic-content standards (typically 51 percent for processed products) appear in school-district and state institutional solicitations. The code shows limited standalone activity; vendors should track broader food-service RFPs and IFBs issued by state corrections, veterans homes, and large school districts where canned fruit is a line item within comprehensive nutrition procurement rather than a discrete solicitation.
