The variety of figs known as smyrna figs which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50383509 Smyrna fig purees is a Commodity code that describes state and local procurement of canned and processed fruit products for institutional food service, though recent opportunities tagged under this code show minimal direct activity for the nominal product and instead reveal a broader pattern of school districts, state agencies, and correctional facilities sourcing canned fruit, fresh produce, and prepared food items through competitive solicitations. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 in July 2026 seeking 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky) compliant with USDA 2011 commodity specifications, with bids due July 31, 2026, and the historical award price at $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services division issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 requesting food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center under NIGP class numbers 380–393, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and proposals due July 13, 2026. Issuing bodies under this code span state correctional and health agencies, school districts of widely varying size (from 19,000 to 25,500 student enrollments), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles; Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, and large districts such as Dallas ISD and Fairfax County Public Schools appear multiple times in recent postings. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, and Missouri, with school districts in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and Southwest (Texas) representing the highest recent posting frequency; cooperative purchasing arrangements such as the GEC Buying Cooperative and Texas SmartBuy broaden the geographic and organizational reach of individual solicitations.

Representative recent solicitations reveal substantial purchasing volumes and annual values. The Douglas County School System through the GEC Buying Cooperative issued RFP SN 26-004 in February 2026 for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, responses due March 4, 2026. Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 in April 2026 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens across Virginia, with sealed bids due April 27, 2026, requiring minimum three years of food delivery experience and bidding on at least 76 items. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested bids for 115 commodity line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026, and MBE/CBE certifications applicable under city ordinance. Dallas Independent School District issued RFP JC250079 in February 2026 for various food products not available through main commercial bids, with contract periods running through May 28, 2027, and awards made to the lowest-priced responsive vendor meeting specifications and the M/WBE program commitment. Buy American provisions appear consistently across school nutrition solicitations, typically requiring a minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products; firm fixed pricing for the contract term is standard, with price adjustments permitted only at renewal or upon documented manufacturer price increases exceeding 5 percent in many districts.
