UNSPSC 50523104: Non GMO conadria figs

The variety of non GMO figs known as non GMO conadria 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 50523104 Non-GMO Conadria figs (Commodity) does not reflect the actual procurement activity currently posted under this code. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to it solicit fresh produce and food service items for school nutrition programs, but the posted bids cover bananas, mixed vegetables, citrus fruits, eggs, and comprehensive fresh-produce assortments — not figs of any variety. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work being bought suggests the code either is misapplied in practice or sees minimal relevant activity.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida are the primary issuing bodies sourcing fresh produce for child nutrition programs, issuing RFPs, RFBs (Requests for Bid), and IFBs (Invitations for Bid) with response dates clustered between March and July 2026. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) at an estimated annual value of $78,000, Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026), Bulloch County School District's RFP for locally-grown produce supporting its Farm to School program (due May 4, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by area (due March 4, 2026). Vendors must meet Buy American requirements, maintain HACCP plans and traceability systems, carry $500,000 to $2 million in liability insurance, comply with E-Verify authorization, and deliver weekly to multiple school sites. The code shows little direct relevance to the posted opportunities and does not appear to be a productive category for business development targeting state and local school-nutrition procurement.
