UNSPSC 50303103: Calimyrna figs

The variety of figs known as calimyrna figs

UNSPSC 50303103 Calimyrna figs (Commodity) covers fresh produce supply to state and local institutions, but recent state and local solicitations under this code show a far broader procurement pattern than the code name suggests — state and local governments are buying comprehensive fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts, not calimyrna figs specifically. Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, school districts, senior services divisions, and county health and nutrition programs are the primary issuing bodies, and they are sourcing weekly or bi-weekly deliveries of mixed fresh produce (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, onions, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes, and other seasonal items) to correctional facilities, schools, mental health centers, and food-service operations. The scope runs from single-commodity spot buys (Madison Metropolitan School District's petite banana RFB for $78,000 annually, posted July 8, 2026) to comprehensive multi-item produce procurement supporting child nutrition programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB estimated at $969,460.94, posted June 24, 2026). Correctional and mental health facilities dominate the issuing-body mix — TDCJ has posted at least three separate fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations since late September 2026 (Snyder Food Warehouse IW267420 due October 14, 2026; Wynne Food Warehouse IW267411 due October 14, 2026; Palestine facility IW267376 due October 19, 2026), and Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center posted a small purchase for fresh fruits and vegetables on August 7, 2026 (27444DHSMENTHB53608, due August 14, 2026) with a contract term through June 30, 2027.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Connecticut, with school districts representing the heaviest recent posting volume. Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bartow County, Early County, and DeSoto County) have issued overlapping fresh produce bids for the 2026-2027 school year between May and June 2026, often with local-sourcing preferences (Bartow County's RFP 10-2026-019, posted May 21, 2026, required produce sourced within 400 miles; Dougherty County's IFB posted May 19, 2026 with bids due June 16, 2026). Wisconsin and Texas school districts follow similar patterns — Madison Metropolitan School District posted separate bids for petite bananas (RFB 4162, July 8, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, July 8, 2026) with geographic preferences favoring Wisconsin-sourced produce and a $0.20-per-pound organic preference discount. City procurement offices and counties also participate — Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) sought grocery items including over 1,100 line items spanning produce, with bids due June 30, 2026 (BNB052266); City of San Antonio's Senior Services Division issued RFP 26-070 on April 22, 2026 for produce market operations at 15 senior center locations. Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items) and federal program compliance (CACFP, National School Lunch Program, Head Start) appear consistently across school, child care, and corrections solicitations. Contract terms typically run July through June (aligning with school fiscal years) or 12 months from award, with most pricing on a per-unit, per-pound, or line-by-line basis and delivery frequency ranging from weekly to twice weekly. Insurance minimums span $500,000 to $1,000,000 general liability, and payment terms cluster around Net 30 to Net 45 days.
