UNSPSC 50553106: Canned or jarred non GMO kadota figs

The variety of non GMO figs known as non GMO kadota 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 50553106 Canned or jarred non-GMO Kadota figs, a Commodity code, does not appear prominently in current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block shows no active solicitations specifically for canned or jarred non-GMO Kadota figs. Instead, the code tags a diverse mix of food-service procurements—including fresh produce, dried fruit bars, applesauce, and broad categories of shelf-stable foods—that do not center on this specific commodity. State and local governments use this code nominally within larger food-service RFQs, RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs, but the sourcing focus is spread across multiple product lines rather than concentrated on Kadota figs as a line item.

The jurisdictions posting opportunities tagged under this code span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county and state nutrition operations (Gwinnett County in Georgia, State of Illinois Veterans Homes, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and municipal procurement offices. Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut, reflecting demand from institutional food service for multiple commodity categories rather than concentrated interest in Kadota figs specifically. The code shows little relevant recent activity for this narrowly specified commodity; vendors pursuing Kadota figs should monitor broader food-service solicitations and confirm actual line-item inclusion before investing pre-bid effort.
