UNSPSC 50523102: Non GMO brown turkey figs

The variety of non GMO figs known as non GMO brown turkey figs. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50523102 Non GMO brown turkey figs is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local solicitation activity in the provided dataset. The named code specifies a single produce item—non-GMO brown turkey figs—yet all eighteen recent opportunities posted between February and July 2026 solicit fresh produce broadly (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, eggs, and prepared produce items) rather than figs specifically. None of the opportunities name figs as a line item, and the code shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope.

The recent opportunities instead characterize state and local produce procurement across school districts and education cooperatives throughout Georgia and Texas, spanning school nutrition programs, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program participation, and Farm to School initiatives. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan, McAllen, Austin, Hillsborough County), county school systems (Hancock, Early, Bulloch, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn, Douglas), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving thirty Georgia school districts). Representative recent solicitations include Liberty County Board of Education's dual IFBs for produce and food products (bids due April 29, 2026), Glynn County's fresh produce procurement (IFB 27-02, bids due April 14, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering eighteen districts in Area One and twelve in Area Two (proposals due March 4, 2026, estimated $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas school districts, with Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, traceability documentation, GAP certification, and domestic sourcing preferences as standard requirements across all opportunities.
