UNSPSC 50373900 Canned or jarred organic kiwi fruit is a Class code describing shelf-stable preserved fruit products purchased by state and local jurisdictions for food service operations. State and local governments buy this code for institutional food supply — primarily canned and jarred produce for school nutrition programs, county senior services, state correctional facilities, state hospitals and supported living centers, and municipal boards of education. The solicitations under this code reflect routine procurement of shelf-stable fruits and vegetable products for high-volume, multi-site food service distribution, often bundled with broader food commodity categories rather than as standalone organic kiwi fruit line items. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD in Texas), and municipal education boards (City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut). State-level institutional food programs—particularly corrections and health and human services—represent the most consistent buyer base, with multiple solicitations from Texas HHSC, Oregon DOC, and Illinois.
