UNSPSC 50323106: Dried kadota figs

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

UNSPSC 50323106 Dried kadota figs, a Commodity code, covers specialized dried fruit products used primarily in institutional food service and nutrition programs. State and local governments procure dried figs and comparable dried fruit commodities almost exclusively through school nutrition services, corrections departments, and state food supply programs. Recent solicitations show that dried figs appear as line items within larger fresh produce and commodity food contracts rather than as standalone procurements; the code's scope reflects individual product lines across multi-category food supply agreements where school districts, correctional facilities, and state nutrition centers specify dried fruit requirements alongside vegetables, proteins, grains, and other staples. Issuing bodies include school nutrition departments (independent school districts and county boards of education), state correctional departments, and state nutrition administration offices. School districts and corrections agencies dominate the buyer base, driven by federal nutrition program compliance requirements including the Buy American Provision under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, which mandates minimum domestic content thresholds for processed products.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce under contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with response due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center on June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items across protein, dairy, fruit, and vegetable products through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia issued a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products IFB on May 15, 2026, with response due June 22, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, solicited cafeteria food products covering approximately 382 line items with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026, and a contract term extending through August 31, 2027 with optional renewals. The code shows modest but consistent activity tied to recurring school-year and institutional supply cycles; response deadlines cluster around June, reflecting school district budget cycles and mid-year institutional food procurement.
