UNSPSC 50303108: Mission figs

The variety of figs known as mission figs

UNSPSC 50303108 Mission figs is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code in practice procure fresh produce — most commonly as part of institutional food service operations for schools, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, and child care programs. The code description names a single produce item, but the recent opportunities show that issuing bodies tag broad fresh-produce procurement under it, including multiline fresh fruit and vegetable contracts spanning apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, tomatoes, and specialty items. Procurement bodies include state departments (corrections, mental health), county and municipal government, school districts, and nonprofit agencies operating federally funded nutrition programs. State agencies — particularly the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Illinois Department of Corrections and Mental Health — appear as repeat buyers of fresh produce for institutional feeding operations.

Recent activity clusters in the South and Midwest, with solicitations from Texas (TDCJ multiple facilities, City of Edinburg), Illinois (Department of Mental Health, Department of Corrections), Georgia (multiple school districts and county systems), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations for the Palestine and Wynne food warehouses (IW267376, due October 19, 2026; IW267411, due October 14, 2026) issued as RFQ-style portal submissions; the Illinois Department of Corrections' fresh produce quote request for Joliet Treatment Center (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026) under small-business set-aside; Madison Metropolitan School District's petite bananas bid (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, $78,000 estimated annual value) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks procurement (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026) with Wisconsin-local sourcing preference; and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce solicitation for 2026-27 (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ produce line items. Geographic sourcing preferences and Buy American provisions appear frequently in school and agency nutrition contracts; many districts apply cost preferences for local, organic, or diverse-supplier status during evaluation.
