UNSPSC 50343110: Frozen verdona figs

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

UNSPSC 50343110 Frozen verdona figs is a Commodity code that represents a narrow fruit product line, but state and local procurement activity under this specific code shows no recent relevant solicitations. The most recent opportunities posted under or near this code classify as general grocery, produce, and food service procurement spanning schools, state institutions, and public facilities—but none target frozen verdona figs as a line item. Instead, procurement bodies tag broad grocery and fresh/frozen produce categories (frozen foods, fresh produce, dried fruits and nuts) under higher-level codes, with individual frozen fruit specifications embedded within much larger multi-item food service RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs. This code's nominal scope and the actual buying activity are misaligned; vendors pursuing frozen fig supply to state and local agencies should monitor family-level frozen-food and produce codes rather than expect standalone solicitations at the commodity tier.

State and local food service procurement spans school districts, state health and human services agencies, county correctional facilities, and Head Start programs across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, Florida, New Mexico, California, and Oregon. Recent activity shows that school nutrition programs (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Henry County Schools in Georgia, Fulton County Schools in Georgia) and state institutional buyers (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for Big Spring State Hospital and El Paso State Supported Living Center) issue multiple annual RFPs and IFBs for comprehensive grocery baskets covering hundreds of line items each. Representative solicitations include the Texas HHS Big Spring State Hospital IFB HHS0017660 (bids due July 27, 2026) spanning 110+ line items with a prior-year baseline of $32,226, the Texas HHS El Paso facility IFB HHS0017449 (proposals due July 11, 2026) covering food and consumable products with prior-year spend of $1.5 million, the Hancock County Board of Education fresh-produce IFB (bids due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 fresh-produce line items, and the Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services (proposals due February 18, 2026) with estimated annual expenditure of $9 million across 32 schools. These are large, recurring procurement events where frozen fruits (including specialty items) are embedded as line items within comprehensive food baskets, not standalone commodity purchases.
