UNSPSC 50303105: Dottado figs

The variety of figs known as dottado figs

UNSPSC 50303105 Dottado figs (Commodity) represents a narrow fresh fruit procurement category that state and local governments buy primarily through child and senior nutrition programs and school meal services. Recent state and local solicitations show that figs—when purchased—appear as line items within broader fresh fruit and produce procurements serving K-12 school nutrition, child care food programs, and senior meal services rather than as standalone commodities. The issuing bodies span school districts (ranging from small rural districts to large urban systems), county school boards of education, child care agencies, and municipal senior services divisions. School nutrition programs dominate the buyer base, reflecting federal Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and National School Lunch Program (NSLP) compliance requirements that drive institutional fresh-produce sourcing across multiple states.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and South, with Georgia school districts representing the highest concentration of recent procurement volume—Liberty County, Bryan County, Glynn County, Dougherty County, Bulloch County, Hancock County, Bartow County, and Early County boards of education have all issued produce bids in recent months. Texas school districts including McAllen ISD and Austin ISD are also active buyers. Northern and Western states show less frequent activity, with Central Point School District (Oregon), Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), and Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) representing outliers. A representative recent opportunity: the City of Edinburg Parks and Recreation Department issued RFP 2026-017 on July 16, 2026, for CACFP meal program food and nonfood supplies due August 4, 2026, seeking beverages, paper goods, food products (including fruits), janitorial supplies, and nonfood items for 400 children daily under a local-vendor preference framework. Another: McAllen ISD posted RFP 2026-1029 (proposals due March 6, 2026) for fresh produce across 31 campuses serving 20,000 students, with award anticipated to multiple vendors on a competitive basis. Figs do not appear as a named line item in any of the recent solicitations reviewed; when fresh fruit procurement occurs, specification documents typically name apples, bananas, berries, citrus, melons, and tropical fruits, but do not isolate figs as a distinct requirement.
