UNSPSC 50533104: Dried non GMO conadria figs

The variety of non GMO figs known as non GMO conadria figs that have been dried for preservation. 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 50533104 Dried non-GMO Conadria figs (Commodity) represents a niche agricultural product that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. The code sees limited direct solicitation under its specific commodity name; instead, dried figs appear as line items within broader grocery and food-supply RFPs that span produce, proteins, dairy, and processed goods for school lunch programs, senior meal services, and state-supported living facilities. When the code appears in state and local procurement, the buying agencies are school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services commissions, and county nutrition programs operating under National School Lunch Program and Child Nutrition guidelines. Vendors supplying under this code must meet Buy American Provision requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed goods where applicable), provide complete nutritional labeling and ingredient documentation, comply with Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, maintain HACCP food safety plans with 24/7 recall capability, carry commercial general liability and products liability insurance, and submit to blind laboratory and sensory testing by purchasing agencies. Pricing is typically firm and fixed throughout the contract period, with deliveries made on standard pallets to central warehouses and school sites on a prepaid freight basis.

Recent procurement activity under this code concentrates in school district purchases across Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas, with smaller volumes in county and state institutional food service. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (including dried fruits and condiments) for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce and specialty items for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million (due July 13, 2026); and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' June 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years (due June 25, 2026). Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast and Texas, though school nutrition procurement occurs nationwide. Most recent opportunities carry tight bid windows (two to three weeks) and require pre-submission compliance documentation including USDA affidavits, state registrations, health inspection records, and debarment certifications.
