UNSPSC 50303103: Calimyrna figs

The variety of figs known as calimyrna figs

UNSPSC 50303103 Calimyrna figs is a Commodity code that spans what state and local governments actually buy under it — but the recent solicitation activity shows almost no direct procurement of figs themselves. Instead, the code appears to be tagged to institutional food service contracts for school districts, child care agencies, and county corrections facilities that include figs as one line item within broader food and produce categories. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Madison Metropolitan School District, Bulloch County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, DeSoto County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Henry County Schools, Glynn County Schools, McAllen ISD, and others across multiple states), alongside Head Start child care programs, city and county human services departments, and county corrections food services. The work is diverse — some solicitations name figs explicitly as one item in Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program procurement or school nutrition produce bids; others tag the code to blanket grocery food buys that include dried fruits, prepared produce, and processed items; still others use it for fresh produce contracts where figs may appear seasonally or not at all. This divergence between the code name and actual procurement patterns suggests the taxonomy does not map cleanly to what jurisdictions are currently buying under 50303103.

Geographic activity spans Texas (City of Edinburg, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Head Start of Greater Dallas), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Georgia (multiple counties and school districts including Hancock, Bulloch, Dougherty, Bartow, Bryan, Liberty, Glynn, and Savannah-Chatham), Florida (Hillsborough County), Mississippi (DeSoto County), California (Santa Clara County), and Oregon (Central Point School District). The most concentrated recent activity appears in Georgia school district produce and nutrition procurement. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools issuing RFP 26RFP034 for fresh fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (response date March 11, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District posting RFB 4162 for petite bananas and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (bids due July 29, 2026); the GEC Buying Cooperative (Douglas County Schools) issuing RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia districts (proposals due March 4, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport posting grocery items solicitation BNB052266 for school board food service (electronic bids due June 30, 2026). Most solicitations are IFBs or RFBs for institutional food service, with response deadlines typically 30–60 days from posting. The code shows steady but fragmented activity across school nutrition, child care, and corrections food service channels rather than concentrated fig-specific procurement.
