UNSPSC 50303108: Mission figs

The variety of figs known as mission figs

UNSPSC 50303108 Mission figs, a Commodity code, sees limited direct procurement activity in state and local school nutrition and institutional child care programs. Recent opportunities under this code and closely related fresh produce solicitations show state and local governments buying fresh produce primarily through broader grocery or produce line-item contracts rather than as a standalone commodity. The City of Edinburg, Texas, and the Boys & Girls Club each solicited food items including fresh fruits for CACFP meal programs, Madison Metropolitan School District requested fresh fruit and vegetable snacks from Wisconsin vendors, and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa sought specialty fruits and vegetables for a USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program through a fixed-fee-per-case model. School districts and child nutrition programs represent the primary buyer segment, followed by senior services programs and correctional facilities. Work includes supply and delivery of fresh produce to individual school sites, child care facilities, and program locations with strict quality, temperature, and timing requirements; vendors typically compete on price, product quality, delivery reliability, and compliance with USDA food safety standards including HACCP plans, traceability, and recall procedures.

Geographic spread clusters in the South and Southwest, with recent activity in Texas (Edinburg, McAllen, Austin), Florida (Tampa), Wisconsin (Madison), Georgia (multiple county and city districts), Connecticut (Meriden), Mississippi (DeSoto), and California (Santa Clara County). Most school districts solicit produce through Invitations for Bid (IFBs) or Requests for Proposal (RFPs) with response deadlines typically 30–60 days from posting, firm-fixed pricing for one-year terms with optional renewals, and weekly or twice-weekly deliveries to multiple school sites. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, response due July 29, 2026), McAllen ISD's RFP 2026-1029 for fresh produce across 31 campuses (proposals due March 6, 2026, extended by addendum), Bulloch County Schools' Invitation for Proposal for locally grown produce within 200 miles (proposals due May 4, 2026), and the GEC Buying Cooperative's statewide RFP SN 26-004 covering fresh produce and eggs across two Georgia areas estimated at $5.5 million annually (due March 4, 2026). Typical insurance, Buy American compliance, debarment certification, and HACCP documentation are standard requirements; smaller contracts may allow local-vendor or diverse-owned-business preferences.
