UNSPSC 50323100: Dried figs

The type of fruit known as figs that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50323100 Dried figs, a Class code, encompasses dried fruit products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other public cafeteria operations. The recent opportunities show limited direct demand for dried figs specifically; instead, school districts and detention facilities are actively buying broader dried fruit categories (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blends, prunes) as component items within larger food service contracts. The work solicited under this code consists of commodity-level dried fruit supply with firm fixed pricing, contracted delivery schedules, USDA grade compliance, and food safety certifications including HACCP plans and product traceability.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Georgia and California showing the most recent activity. The County of Santa Clara issued an ITB for dried fruits and nuts to the Sheriff's Department Correction Food Services (due February 5, 2026), specifying dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on a five-year contract with a local business preference. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice separately issued a bid for whole pitted dried prunes (U.S. Grade B, 60-70 count, 1,400 box minimum order). Georgia school systems—Douglas County, Liberty County, Hancock County, and Savannah-Chatham—are issuing annual food service contracts (IFBs and RFPs, responses between February and June 2026) that span fresh produce, eggs, and general grocery lines but do not isolate dried figs as a line item. The broader grocery and fresh produce solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) similarly reflect demand for integrated food supply rather than dried figs as a standalone category. Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and California, with secondary activity in Texas, Virginia, Connecticut, and Missouri. The code shows minimal standalone procurement activity for dried figs; vendors pursuing this category should focus on inclusion in larger school nutrition or institutional food service bids rather than expect dedicated commodity-level solicitations.
