UNSPSC 50303100: Figs

The type of fruit known as figs

UNSPSC 50303100 Figs, a Class code, represents state and local procurement of fresh fruits and vegetables for institutional food service operations — primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, and child care food programs. Recent solicitations show demand for direct produce supply and delivery contracts covering everything from bulk commodity volumes to processed, ready-to-eat produce portions for end consumers. The issuing-body mix spans state departments of corrections and mental health, county boards of education, city school districts, municipal senior services divisions, and specialized service providers such as Head Start programs and regional health coalitions. School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple Georgia school systems (Bryan County, Dougherty County, Hancock County, Bartow County), Wisconsin districts (Madison Metropolitan), and districts in Texas, Connecticut, and Mississippi all actively procuring fresh produce in the past six months.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Illinois, Connecticut, and Mississippi. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts for the Palestine facility (IW267376, due October 19, 2026) and the Snyder and Wynne food warehouses (IW267420 and IW267411, both due October 14, 2026), all posted through the TDCJ Procurement Portal; Madison Metropolitan School District's petite banana procurement (RFB 4162, approximately $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026) and Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks contract (RFB 4163, approximately 5,900 weekly servings, due July 29, 2026, with geographic sourcing limited to within 400 miles and within Wisconsin); the Illinois Department of Corrections' fresh produce request for Joliet Treatment Center (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, small business set-aside, due September 3, 2026); and Bartow County Schools' local fresh fruits and vegetables RFP (PE55391NONST2026000000027, sourcing requirement of within 400 miles, due June 22, 2026). Buy American provisions, prevailing wage compliance, HACCP plans, food safety certifications, and USDA CACFP or National School Lunch Program compliance are standard contractual requirements across jurisdictions. Many school district contracts now include local-vendor preferences, geographic sourcing mandates, and diverse-business evaluation scoring.
