UNSPSC 50543904: Frozen non GMO hayward kiwi fruit

The variety of non GMO kiwi fruit known as non GMO hayward kiwi fruit that has been frozen for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50543904 Frozen non-GMO Hayward kiwi fruit, a Commodity code, nominally addresses a narrow produce item, but recent state and local solicitations show little activity directly matching frozen specialty kiwis. The code sees minimal reflected demand in current procurement notices; the recent opportunities in the block span broad fresh produce, pantry staples, and school nutrition contracts that do not specifically call out frozen kiwis. When frozen specialty fruit appears in state and local purchasing, it typically surfaces as a line item within larger fresh and frozen produce buys rather than as a standalone procurement. School districts and county food services procure produce under National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements, with Buy American provisions mandating at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products. Vendors to these jurisdictions must meet USDA nutrition standards, HACCP food safety protocols, E-Verify compliance, and commercial liability insurance thresholds.

Recent opportunities include school districts across Georgia — Hancock County Board of Education (fresh produce for 2026-27 school year, IFB due June 26, 2026), Early County Board of Education (line-by-line food bid including meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains, due June 8, 2026), and a broader State of Georgia food and supplies solicitation (due June 22, 2026) — as well as Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, IWQ due October 19, 2026) and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (over 1,100 line items of grocery items supporting school nutrition, with electronic bids due June 30, 2026). Activity concentrates in school district nutrition procurement in Georgia and Connecticut, where produce appears as a component of larger food buys rather than isolated frozen-fruit line items. No recent solicitation explicitly names frozen kiwis or other specialty frozen fruit as a distinct procurement focus.
