UNSPSC 50323108: Dried mission figs

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

UNSPSC 50323108 Dried mission figs is a Commodity code capturing dried fruit products, specifically whole dried figs and similar preserved fruit items, that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and correctional facility food services. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying dried fruits as components of broader food and produce contracts, with specifications typically calling for USDA-grade certified product, sealed packaging, and compliance with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic ingredients in processed items. The work involves responding to sealed-bid IFBs with detailed product specifications, nutritional certifications, vendor references, insurance documentation, and HACCP or food-safety compliance plans. Issuing bodies include school district nutrition departments (such as Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), state departments of criminal justice procuring for correctional facilities, and state procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies.

Activity under the code concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent opportunities posted by Hancock County Schools (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The Hancock County Schools IFB for fresh produce in the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026) and the Bridgeport Board of Education commodities solicitation (due June 26, 2026) represent the most directly applicable recent postings, though neither explicitly names dried figs in publicly available summaries—both encompass broader fresh and processed produce categories where dried fruits typically appear as line items. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued solicitations for dried prunes and cafeteria food products (the latter with a due date of May 4, 2026), indicating active procurement of preserved fruit in correctional food service. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products IFB (due June 22, 2026) with scope details in an attached document. Buy American compliance and firm fixed pricing for the full contract term are standard requirements across these opportunities.
