UNSPSC 50373110: Canned or jarred organic verdona figs

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

UNSPSC 50373110 Canned or jarred organic verdona figs is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code to procure shelf-stable, packaged fruit products for institutional food service — primarily canned or jarred produce items supplied to correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, county senior services, and veterans' homes. The recent solicitations show procurement officers tagging this code for broader food-commodity buys that span multiple shelf-stable items; the actual work under the code involves providing branded or equivalent canned and jarred fruits meeting USDA standards, FDA compliance, and minimum shelf-life requirements, typically on firm fixed-price contracts with FOB destination delivery terms.

Recent opportunities appear across state departments and county and municipal school systems. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has issued multiple quarterly food-service contracts for weekly orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, with both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications issued in June and August 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two ITBs for canned applesauce (May 2026 and July 2026), each for approximately 1,900 to 4,700 cases with historical pricing around $21.83 per case and a 10 percent Oregon-vendor preference available. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items in October 2026, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has solicited supplemental food and consumables (210 line items, up to $4.5 million over three years) for state hospitals and living centers statewide. Activity concentrates in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Texas. Geographic spread and volume suggest steady institutional demand, though the recent posting mix indicates that state and local procurement offices often bundle canned fruits within broader commodity categories rather than isolating verdona figs as a line item. Response dates have ranged from May through October 2026, with typical IFB and RFQ notice types predominating.
