UNSPSC 50533109: Dried non GMO smyrna figs

The variety of non GMO figs known as non GMO smyrna 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 50533109 Dried non-GMO Smyrna figs, a Commodity code, does not align with state and local government procurement activity documented in recent solicitations. The recent opportunities block contains fourteen school nutrition, senior meal, and food service procurement solicitations issued between January and June 2026 across multiple jurisdictions, none of which specify dried figs as a line item or procurement need. The solicitations span comprehensive grocery procurement (Bridgeport, Fairfax County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, State of Georgia, Bulloch County Schools), fresh produce contracts (Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County cooperative), and specialized meal services (Hillsborough County senior meals, City of Dallas event catering). While several of these opportunities reference produce and processed food items across numerous categories—including fruits, vegetables, dairy, grains, and snacks—the scope documents and specifications itemize dozens of commodity lines without naming dried figs as a distinct procurement category.

The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local contracting. If state or local buying agencies procure dried non-GMO Smyrna figs, they do so either under broader family-level produce or grocery codes or in volumes and frequency too low to generate standalone solicitations in this six-month window. Vendors targeting the education and senior nutrition segments documented here should monitor family-tier codes covering fresh and processed produce (UNSPSC 50500000 range) and comprehensive grocery procurement, where dried fruit appears as a minor line item within larger meal-planning and nutrition-compliance frameworks rather than as a standalone commodity bid line.
