UNSPSC 50303101: Bardajic figs

The variety of figs known as bardajic figs

UNSPSC 50303101 Bardajic figs (Commodity) does not reflect the actual procurement activity recorded under this code. State and local opportunities tagged with this commodity code overwhelmingly solicit fresh produce supply and delivery — apples, bananas, berries, carrots, lettuce, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, and other fruits and vegetables — for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, and child care operations. The code designation appears misaligned with the work being purchased. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health), county and independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan, DeSoto County, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bartow County, Bryan County, Early County boards of education), cities (Bridgeport, Edinburg, San Antonio), counties (Collier County), and specialized service organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). School districts represent the largest segment of recent solicitations, with multiple concurrent RFBs and RFPs for fresh produce contracts supporting child nutrition programs under USDA meal guidelines and CACFP standards.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Wisconsin, Illinois, Mississippi, and Florida. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's concurrent IFBs for fresh fruit and vegetables to prison food warehouses in Snyder and Huntsville (responses due October 14, 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections' small-business-set-aside RFQ for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (due September 3, 2026; bi-weekly deliveries specified), and Madison Metropolitan School District's paired RFBs for petite bananas ($78,000 estimated annual value; 70–90 cases weekly; response due July 29, 2026) and ready-to-eat fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin (response due July 29, 2026; 5,900 servings weekly; diverse-owned business preference eligible). Collier County's Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (response due March 6, 2025) requires diverse menu offerings and local-vendor preference (10 evaluation points). Most school district and correctional solicitations specify Buy American requirements (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content), HACCP compliance, and price-firm terms ranging from six months to the full contract period. Delivery frequency typically ranges from bi-weekly to daily, with F.O.B. Destination pricing and no separate fuel surcharges permitted in many school district bids.
