UNSPSC 50533105: Dried non GMO dottado figs

The variety of non GMO figs known as non GMO dottado 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 50533105 Dried non-GMO dottado figs, a Commodity code, shows no recent activity aligned with its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The source records fourteen recent solicitations for food products spanning school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply, but none specifically name dried figs or dottado varieties as line items. The Commodity code appears to be a granular classification within a broader food-supply taxonomy that state and local issuing bodies do not activate in their solicitations — procurement officers instead aggregate dried fruit items into larger produce or grocery categories and tag them under Family or Class codes. The fourteen opportunities reviewed span IFB, RFP, and RFQ formats from school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Bulloch County Board of Education and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia; Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county boards of education (Douglas County School System in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), a county health authority (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), and a municipal government (City of Bridgeport in Connecticut; City of Dallas in Texas), but none references the UNSPSC 50533105 code or solicits dried figs as a distinct line item.

The issuing bodies that do procure fresh produce and dried items bundle them into master grocery contracts with 200+ line items (Douglas County School System estimated $4.4 million for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 with weekly deliveries to 45 schools; Meriden Public Schools at approximately $3.1 million for commercial groceries and fresh produce; Bulloch County Board of Education's comprehensive food procurement across 14 school sites) or into seasonal produce awards (Hancock County Board of Education and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System both issuing fresh-produce-only IFBs in June 2026). No recent solicitation surfaces the Commodity code or makes dried figs a distinct procurement line, suggesting that this code operates below the level of actual state and local procurement granularity and may be reserved for specialized wholesale distributors, commodity exchanges, or federal supply schedules rather than direct state and local RFP activity.
