UNSPSC 50523103: Non GMO calimyrna figs

The variety of non GMO figs known as non GMO calimyrna 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 50523103 Non GMO Calimyrna Figs is a Commodity code that covers fresh produce procurement by state and local education, recreation, and health-care organizations. The recent solicitations tagged under this code reveal broader fresh fruit and vegetable sourcing activity rather than procurement specifically for calimyrna figs; the code appears to function as a general fresh-produce category for school nutrition programs, county parks and recreation food services, and healthcare facility commissaries. State and local buyers under this code are sourcing fresh fruits and vegetables in high volume for institutional food service — school lunch and breakfast programs, park concessions, and health-care nutrition operations — with an emphasis on quality standards, food safety compliance (HACCP plans), traceability documentation, and competitive pricing. The issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Wisconsin) with procurement activity also in Florida and multistate state-level sourcing.

Recent representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items for the 2026-27 school year with a June 26, 2026 bid deadline, specifying delivery to three school locations and requiring HACCP plans and Buy American compliance; Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (approximately 5,900 weekly servings) due July 29, 2026 with a geographic sourcing requirement within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin, featuring a $0.20-per-pound organic-produce preference discount; Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles, due June 22, 2026, with contract award anticipated July 20, 2026; and Collier County's ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025, offering a 10-point local-vendor preference and a three-year term. School districts dominate recent activity and frequently impose geographic-sourcing or local-preference requirements, seasonal-variety scoring, traceability and delivery-schedule documentation, and affirmative-action compliance. Insurance and bonding requirements are standard across all issuing bodies, typically ranging from $500,000 to $1 million general liability coverage.
