UNSPSC 50543107: Frozen non GMO mediterranean figs

The variety of non GMO figs known as non GMO mediterranean 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 50543107 Frozen non-GMO Mediterranean figs (Commodity) does not reflect the actual procurement activity state and local governments are conducting under this code. Recent state and local solicitations tagged with this Commodity code are purchasing comprehensive grocery and food service categories—including produce, proteins, dairy, grains, frozen items, and supplies—to support school nutrition programs and institutional food service, not frozen figs specifically. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought suggests this code either captures a narrow product line that does not align with how purchasing offices classify broader food solicitations, or the tagging itself is imprecise in the underlying opportunities database.

The most recent opportunities show school districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri issuing IFBs and RFPs for grocery items, fresh produce, and food supply distribution to support National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) posted an IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 items due June 26, 2026; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested bids on approximately 300 food items due June 8, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited over 900 line items of grocery goods due April 29, 2026; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued an RFP for main-line food supply and distribution services for 32 schools with approximately $9 million estimated annual expenditure, due February 18, 2026. No opportunities specifically targeting frozen Mediterranean figs or products of similar narrowness appear in the recent solicitation record. Unless your firm supplies comprehensive grocery and food service distribution to school districts under broader commodity classifications, this Commodity code shows little actionable procurement activity aligned with its stated product scope.
