UNSPSC 50323107: Dried mediterranean figs

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

UNSPSC 50323107 Dried mediterranean figs (Commodity) covers the procurement of dried fruit products for school nutrition programs and institutional food service, as evidenced by recent state and local solicitations that bundle dried items within broader fresh and processed produce categories. State and local governments purchase these products primarily through school district nutrition departments and correctional and institutional food service operations. The scope includes specification-driven procurement emphasizing USDA grade certification, domestic content compliance under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (minimum 51 percent domestic ingredients for processed products), and detailed packaging and portion-size requirements. Solicitations typically require vendors to maintain backup inventory for emergency delivery, provide nutritional analysis and product formulation statements, carry commercial general liability insurance, and accept orders through electronic procurement systems. Contract terms run twelve to twenty-four months with firm-fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and payment within thirty to forty-five days of receipt and inspection.

Recent activity centers on Texas and Georgia state agencies and school districts in Connecticut and Georgia. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (due June 22, 2026), and previously procured whole pitted dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026). Hancock County Schools in Georgia sought fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued a commodities bid for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026). The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026). School nutrition contracts dominate the recent opportunity stream, with tight response windows of two to six weeks typical for summer-to-fall procurement cycles.
