UNSPSC 50523111: Non GMO white king figs

The variety of non GMO figs known as non GMO white king 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 50523111 Non GMO white king figs is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific produce item, but the recent state and local opportunities do not reflect procurement activity around this code. The seven recent solicitations in the opportunity block span fresh produce generally—bananas, apples, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, citrus fruits, and specialty items—and eggs, sourced for school nutrition programs across multiple states. None of the posted opportunities explicitly solicit figs, white king or otherwise, and the code appears to see minimal recent activity aligned with its stated scope. The mismatch between the code name and the actual buying patterns in the market suggests the code itself is not a meaningful procurement category for state and local government food service at present.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, and Wisconsin dominate the issuing bodies, with additional activity from one state procurement office (State of Georgia, food supplies and kitchen products). Recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) at an estimated annual value of $78,000; Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items (due June 26, 2026) with delivery to three schools; Bartow County School System RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026); and Bulloch County School District IFP for 24 locally-grown produce items within 200 miles (proposals due May 4, 2026). Cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative (Douglas County School System RFP serving 30 districts, estimated $5.5 million annual spend) and standalone district nutrition programs represent the primary issuing bodies. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (Hancock, Bartow, Bulloch, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn counties), with Texas and Wisconsin activity also present. The majority of recent procurement emphasizes Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety plans, domestic sourcing preference, and state or local farm-to-school initiatives; none of these opportunities name figs as a line item.
