UNSPSC 50353106: Frozen organic kadota figs

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

UNSPSC 50353106 Frozen organic kadita figs, a Commodity code, represents a narrow specialty food item within school nutrition procurement, though the recent solicitation activity supporting this code shows little direct demand for frozen organic kadita figs specifically. Instead, state and local food-service purchasers are soliciting broadly across frozen and fresh produce categories that may include figs among hundreds of other line items. School districts and boards of education dominate this procurement space, supplemented by city departments of public purchases acting on behalf of school nutrition programs and state purchasing offices. The scope encompasses frozen and fresh produce delivery to school cafeterias and central warehouses, typically under National School Lunch Program contracts requiring Buy American compliance (minimum 51% domestic content in processed products), HACCP food-safety plans, full nutrition labeling, and adherence to whole-grain and low-sodium standards. Deliveries are made Monday through Friday during standard business hours to multiple school sites on firm fixed-price contracts running July 1 through June 30 annually, with pricing inclusive of packing and transportation but no fuel surcharges permitted.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Connecticut, with school districts in Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, Hancock County, and Decatur leading procurement volume, supplemented by the City of Bridgeport Board of Education, Rockwood School District in Missouri, and the State of Georgia. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB052266 on June 30, 2026, seeking over 1,100 grocery line items (including frozen products) with blind laboratory testing at vendor expense and response due the same day. Hancock County Board of Education posted IFB SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for over 200 fresh produce line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, and delivery to three school locations. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System solicited 72 fresh produce items under Bid 26-34 with response due April 23, 2026, for delivery to 60 school sites. Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative on February 4, 2026, spanning 30 districts across two Georgia areas with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending and response due March 4, 2026. Frozen-specific opportunities include City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (May 15, 2026) and Rockwood School District's grocery procurement (April 29, 2026, NUTRIKIDS system). Specialty items like organic figs remain embedded in line-item lists rather than solicited as standalone products.
