UNSPSC 50323101: Dried bardajic figs

The variety of figs known as bardajic figs that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50323101 Dried bardajic figs (Commodity) covers dried fig products procured by state and local governments, though recent activity under this code appears narrow and does not align consistently with the nominal commodity scope. The recent opportunities block shows school nutrition programs and correctional facilities soliciting dried fruits as part of larger food-supply contracts—Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, and vegetables for the 2026–27 school year; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut sought bids on commodities including fruit and vegetable products for its Board of Education Nutrition Center through June 30, 2027; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a separate IFB for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality (60–70 count size, 25-pound boxes) with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for delivery to a Corpus Christi location. These solicitations treat dried fruits as components within commodity bundles rather than as standalone dried-fig procurement. Issuing bodies include school district nutrition programs, city education authorities, state departments, and correctional institutions—all standard large-volume food purchasers using cooperative sourcing models.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas based on recent postings, though the Texas prune solicitation (Bid IW236532, due February 20, 2026) and the Georgia fresh-produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) are the most concrete examples of dried-fruit procurement. Buy American provisions requiring a minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content appear consistently across school nutrition solicitations. The Hancock County and Bridgeport opportunities emphasize firm pricing over the contract term, HACCP or food-safety compliance, 24/7 recall accessibility, and multi-location delivery. However, the code shows little dedicated activity for dried bardajic figs specifically; the recent block captures prunes and fresh-produce bundles rather than targeted dried-fig procurement, suggesting either limited demand for this specific commodity at the state and local level or consistent miscoding of produce categories in available solicitation databases.
