UNSPSC 50523109: Non GMO smyrna figs

The variety of non GMO figs known as non GMO smyrna 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 50523109 Non GMO Smyrna Figs is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The source contains seventeen recent state and local solicitations, of which only one—Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026)—involves fresh produce directly procured for student nutrition. The remaining sixteen opportunities span fresh produce and eggs (not figs), fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, and broader food service contracts, none of which reference figs or Smyrna varieties. The code's abstract name does not match the work actually being solicited in the source block. School districts and county school systems dominate the issuing-body mix, with representative recent solicitations including Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162 for petite bananas and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, both due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items, due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System (RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables, due June 22, 2026), and Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two).

The geographic spread is concentrated in Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas (McAllen ISD RFP 2026-1029 and Austin ISD RFP 26RFP034) and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFQDST for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program delivery). Most school nutrition solicitations emphasize sourcing within 400 miles or within-state preferences where applicable, Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, and weekly delivery to multiple school sites. Contract values range from $78,000 annually (Madison petite bananas) to $4.4 million for cooperative purchasing across multiple districts (Douglas County Area One). The code shows no recent demand for non-GMO Smyrna figs specifically; activity under the code's nominal classification does not support current pursuit.
