UNSPSC 50523105: Non GMO dottado figs

The variety of non GMO figs known as non GMO dottado 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 50523105 Non GMO dottado figs is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity directly supporting the code's nominal scope. The nine recent opportunities tagged to this code show little evidence of state and local governments procuring non-GMO dottado figs. Instead, the records reveal school districts and one state department sourcing fresh produce broadly—bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and eggs—through RFPs, RFBs, IFBs, and ITBs. One solicitation (Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) explicitly names petite bananas; others reference comprehensive fresh-produce categories that would encompass multiple fruit and vegetable lines but do not isolate figs or non-GMO-specific sourcing as a line item. The mismatch between the code name and the actual procurement activity suggests the code may have been applied broadly to school nutrition produce categories rather than to a specific commodity.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia serving 30 districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative). The State of Georgia also posted one opportunity (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) for food, supplies, and other kitchen products, though the full scope was not disclosed in the summary. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with secondary presence in Wisconsin, Florida, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs to 30 districts across two Georgia regions (due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spending approximately $5.5 million combined) and Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFPDST for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty fruits and vegetables to 18 elementary schools in Tampa, Florida (proposals due March 11, 2026, estimated annual budget $600,000). The code shows strong institutional procurement volume but no meaningful signal that non-GMO dottado figs are being bought at scale under current state and local solicitations.
