UNSPSC 50553102: Canned or jarred non GMO brown turkey figs

The variety of non GMO figs known as non GMO brown turkey figs that have been canned or jarred 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 50553102 Canned or jarred non-GMO brown turkey figs, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity specifically naming this product line; the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting figs. State and local food service buyers do procure canned and jarred shelf-stable fruit products under related commodity codes, but the available recent solicitations show activity in canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broad-based food and consumable categories that subsume but do not isolate figs. When figs do appear in state and local food service spending, they typically arrive as line items within larger produce or shelf-stable commodity RFQs, RFPs, and IFBs rather than as standalone procurements. Issuing bodies include state departments (Illinois, Texas, Georgia, Oregon), county boards of education and commissioners (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Bridgeport), correctional and veterans-service agencies, and independent school districts.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans the Southeast (Georgia, Connecticut), the Midwest (Illinois), the Southwest (Texas), and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon). Representative recent opportunities show state and local buyers procuring food items through informal written quotes (Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including canned proteins and vegetables, due October 19, 2026), brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, August and June 2026 RFPs for quarterly food supply), and comprehensive commodity bids spanning hundreds of line items (Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, June 2026 IFB; Texas TDCJ cafeteria products, May 2026 IFB with delivery across five geographic areas). Canned fruit procurement is visible in Oregon Department of Corrections applesauce bids (July and May 2026 ITBs for approximately 4,760 and 1,904 cases respectively), evaluated on unit price with 5% state-good and resident-bidder preferences applied. Code 50553102 shows no standalone momentum; pursuit requires integration into broader food-supply vendor relationships where figs might compete with applesauce, dried fruit, or fresh produce across school nutrition, correctional, and veterans-service accounts.
