UNSPSC 50323109: Dried smyrna figs

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

UNSPSC 50323109 Dried smyrna figs, a Commodity code, covers dried fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition and institutional food-service operations. Recent solicitations show that school districts and state agencies purchase dried figs alongside broader fresh and processed produce portfolios—they appear as line items within larger food commodity RFQs and IFBs rather than as standalone specialty items. The issuing bodies are school district nutrition programs (driven by the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act's Buy American requirements), state departments of criminal justice managing institutional dining, and municipal education boards. All recent sourcing emphasizes domestic agricultural content minimums of 51 percent for processed products, USDA grade certification, HACCP or food-safety compliance documentation, and delivery to multiple institutional locations on firm-fixed pricing with prepaid freight.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas based on recent postings. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce that included specialty dried items alongside fresh apple and vegetable line items with a June 26, 2026 response deadline. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Board of Education Nutrition Center solicited food commodities including processed fruit products through an electronic submission by June 26, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a May 15, 2026 food-supplies RFB (due June 22), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued multiple food-procurement IFBs for warehouse distribution, including a dedicated dried-prunes solicitation (IW236532) with a February 2026 response window and a broader 382-line-item cafeteria-foods IFB (304T26300CF) extending through August 2027 with optional renewals. School nutrition set-asides favor domestic sourcing and MBE/CBE certifications where applicable under local ordinance, though the TDCJ solicitations carry no minority-business restrictions.
