UNSPSC 50323110: Dried verdona figs

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

UNSPSC 50323110 Dried verdana figs is a Commodity code covering dried fruit products for institutional foodservice operations, which state and local governments purchase primarily through school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show that school districts and state correctional departments acquire dried figs and related dried fruits as components of larger produce and commodity procurement contracts rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies are school boards (Hancock County Schools, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), state nutrition and procurement divisions (State of Georgia, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and correctional agencies. Work solicited under the code involves sourcing dried fruits meeting USDA grade standards, typically Grade A or Grade B, with firm fixed pricing, HACCP compliance documentation, product traceability for recall accessibility, and adherence to Buy American requirements mandating minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products where applicable.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce and specialty items due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items across multiple fruit and vegetable categories; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested commodities including fruit products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026, under IFB BNB053266 with MBE/CBE certifications applicable; the State of Georgia issued a solicitation for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026 (PE55645NONST2026000000009); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to multiple warehouse locations with responses due May 4, 2026 following Addendum No. 2. A prior TDCJ bid (IW236532) specifically targeted whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count size, with 1,400-box minimum order to the Corpus location. Dried figs appear as subordinate items within broader commodity contracts rather than as primary procurement drivers.
