UNSPSC 50543101: Frozen non GMO bardajic figs

The variety of non GMO figs known as non GMO bardajic figs that have been frozen 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 50543101 Frozen non-GMO bardajic figs is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single frozen fruit product, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the specific commodity name. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve comprehensive school nutrition procurement spanning hundreds of line items across frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and grocery staples—not bardajic figs specifically. State and local buying under this code, as currently posted, targets school districts and municipal education departments procuring goods to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Early County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, City Schools of Decatur, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education), city education departments (Bridgeport Board of Education through the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases), a state procurement office (State of Georgia), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). The code shows material recent activity but serves as a catch-all classifier for broad grocery and frozen-food procurement rather than a precise commodity marker.

The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia (Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, City Schools of Decatur, Hancock County, Early County), with secondary activity in Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and a statewide Georgia solicitation. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases IFB for grocery items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education with electronic bids due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce with bids due June 26, 2026; the State of Georgia food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation due June 22, 2026; Early County Board of Education line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026; City Schools of Decatur IFB for frozen foods and grocery due May 15, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items bid due April 29, 2026; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System fresh produce bid due April 23, 2026; and Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. All require Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content where applicable), HACCP plans, food-safety documentation, and firm fixed pricing with transportation included.
