UNSPSC 50373108: Canned or jarred organic mission figs

The variety of organic figs known as organic mission figs that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50373108 Canned or jarred organic mission figs (Commodity) describes shelf-stable packaged fruit products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service operations, though the code shows minimal direct recent solicitation activity matching its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect a wider procurement pattern: state departments, counties, school districts, and specialized state agencies (corrections, health and human services, veterans facilities) solicit canned and jarred fruits, dried fruit products, and fresh produce as components of multi-item food buys for nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services, and school cafeterias. Issuing bodies include the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Austin Independent School District (Texas), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Most solicitations bundle organic mission figs and similar canned fruit items into larger commodity procurements spanning dozens or hundreds of line items rather than issuing standalone figs-only RFQs.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Connecticut) and Southwest (Texas, Oregon), with the most visible recent opportunities tied to institutional food service. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (response due October 19, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB for state hospitals and supported living centers across Texas (bid deadline March 19, 2026, contract value up to $4.5 million over three years); the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned fruit applesauce ITB for 4,760 cases (response due July 31, 2026, with a 5% Oregon-goods preference and 5% resident-bidder preference); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's cafeteria food products IFB for approximately 382 line items across five geographic distribution points (response due May 4, 2026, with firm fixed pricing on FOB Destination terms). No solicitation in the recent block isolates canned or jarred organic mission figs as a standalone commodity; vendors pursuing this code should expect to compete as suppliers within multi-category food buys where figs appear as one line item among many.
