UNSPSC 50353100: Frozen organic figs

The type of organic fruit known as organic figs that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50353100 Frozen organic figs, a Class code, does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity recorded in recent solicitations. The code's nominal definition—frozen organic figs—is highly specific, yet recent opportunities show school districts, counties, and municipalities soliciting comprehensive multi-category grocery and food service procurement spanning fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and non-food kitchen supplies. State and local food-service buyers use this code designation, but they are purchasing broad commodity baskets to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations, not specialized produce lines. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), a state procurement office (State of Georgia), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). School nutrition programs account for the overwhelming majority of activity, with districts ranging from under 6,900 daily lunch participants to those serving approximately 25,500 students across 32 schools. Solicitations emphasize firm fixed pricing with no fuel or freight surcharges, Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP compliance, food recall accessibility, and whole-grain and low-sodium formulations consistent with Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act standards.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, with secondary presence in Connecticut, Missouri, and multi-state cooperative procurement. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 items (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026), Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district cooperative covering approximately $5.5 million in estimated annual spend (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District solicitation for over 900 grocery line items (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026). Response deadlines cluster in spring and early summer 2026, with contract periods typically running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Most procurements allow single or multiple vendor awards and include renewal options extending two to four additional years, creating stable contract platforms once established with a buyer.
