UNSPSC 50303106: Kadota figs

The variety of figs known as kadota figs

UNSPSC 50303106 Kadota figs, a Commodity code, sees virtually no recent state and local procurement activity despite a robust market for fresh produce across school nutrition programs, child care food services, and institutional food operations. The single opportunity in the source block tagged with this code—the City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP meal program RFP (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026)—lists figs nowhere in its scope; the actual solicitation covers five broad supply categories spanning beverages, paper goods, food products (proteins, cheese, breads, fruits, vegetables, snacks), janitorial supplies, and nonfood items, with no specification of fig sourcing. The mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement scope signals that the code either carries stale or erroneous metadata in the state and local procurement systems, or that Kadota figs are not a meaningful line item in institutional food service contracts at the state and local level.

By contrast, the source documents extensive recent activity in adjacent fresh produce codes across dozens of school districts, counties, and child nutrition programs nationwide—McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, multiple Georgia school nutrition programs, and others—all issuing RFPs and IFBs for apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, carrots, tomatoes, melons, citrus, and other commodity fruits and vegetables in volume. None of these solicitations name Kadota figs or any specialty fig products. Vendors pursuing state and local institutional food service contracts should monitor fresh fruit codes (UNSPSC 50300000–50399999 family and subordinate Classes) that align with actual demand; Kadota figs as a standalone commodity show no current institutional procurement signal and should be approached as a watch-list item pending evidence of school nutrition, child care, or correctional food service demand.
