UNSPSC 50523106: Non GMO kadota figs

The variety of non GMO figs known as non GMO kadota 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 50523106 Non GMO kadota figs is a Commodity code that covers fresh fruit procurement, though the recent state and local opportunities show minimal direct activity under this specific code. State and local governments buying produce through school nutrition programs, county parks and recreation food services, and health care coalition food operations source fresh fruits and vegetables as part of broader food-service contracts, but recent opportunities emphasize bananas, berries, apples, citrus, melons, and seasonal produce staples rather than specialty items like Kadota figs. School districts, county park systems, and healthcare organizations are the primary issuing bodies under the broader fresh produce family, with evaluation criteria typically weighting cost (30–40 percent), product quality and compliance, geographic or local sourcing preferences where specified, and vendor qualifications. The solicitations reflect heightened attention to Buy American provisions, traceability documentation, farm-of-origin labeling, HACCP plans, food safety compliance, and delivery logistics tied to school calendars and regional distribution points.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Wisconsin school districts and county systems. Madison Metropolitan School District issued an IFB for petite bananas with a weekly usage projection of 70–90 cases and an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 (bids due July 29, 2026), while Hancock County Board of Education requested bids on over 200 fresh produce line items for the 2026–27 school year (sealed bids due June 26, 2026). Bartow County School System in Georgia solicited local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items including fruits and vegetables (bids due June 8, 2026). Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a 10-point local-vendor preference (proposals due March 6, 2025), and Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce proposals for the 2026–2027 period (due August 21, 2026). The code itself shows limited match to these solicitations; firms pursuing fresh fruit supply contracts should monitor broader produce and food-service categories where Kadota figs or specialty fruits may be line items within school nutrition or institutional food-service RFBs.
