UNSPSC 50373109: Canned or jarred organic smyrna figs

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

UNSPSC 50373109 Canned or jarred organic smyrna figs is a Commodity code that covers specialty preserved fruit products sourced by state and local institutions for food service and nutrition programs. Recent state and local opportunities under this code show demand for shelf-stable fruit items—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and broader commodity food baskets—sourced by school districts, county boards of education, state correctional and health facilities, and senior services departments. The work comprises competitive purchasing of branded or equivalent-substitution food products in case quantities, typically under IFB, RFQ, or RFP notice types, with awards made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or on best-value criteria. Issuing bodies span state correctional departments, state health and human services commissions, county school nutrition programs, county senior services, and independent school districts. Requirements commonly include USDA compliance, minimum shelf life, FOB destination delivery with prepaid freight, firm fixed pricing, commercial liability insurance, and delivery to centralized distribution points or multiple school sites within specified windows.
