UNSPSC 50323105: Dried dottado figs

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

UNSPSC 50323105 Dried dottado figs (Commodity) represents a narrow specialty food category that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying dried fruit products—including prunes, figs, and related dried goods—as components of larger cafeteria food and produce contracts rather than as standalone line items. The work involves sealed-bid procurement of food products meeting USDA grade standards, specific packaging requirements, and Buy American compliance thresholds (typically 51 percent domestic content for processed items). Issuing bodies include school district nutrition departments, state departments of corrections operating institutional food services, and centralized state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies. State procurement divisions increasingly consolidate food purchases across multiple institutional locations, routing bids through single administrative offices while serving diverse end users.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Contracts and Procurement Department issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products to supply TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic areas, with a due date of May 4, 2026 and contract term through August 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals. TDCJ also separately procured whole pitted dried prunes under Bid No. IW236532, with a revised due date of February 20, 2026. The State of Georgia issued an IFB on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026) for food, supplies, and other kitchen products. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia sought fresh produce through IFB #SN002-2027 with a due date of June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items for delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested bids for 115 line items of commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026 through the OpenGov Procurement Portal and contract term through June 30, 2027.
