UNSPSC 50553107: Canned or jarred non GMO mediterranean figs

The variety of non GMO figs known as non GMO mediterranean 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 50553107 Canned or jarred non-GMO Mediterranean figs, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity; the code's nominal scope does not align with the state and local solicitations posted under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-service procurement for schools, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers—none of which are Mediterranean figs or specialty jarred products. The issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), state corrections and health-and-human-services agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal nutrition centers (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut). The geographic spread covers Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Connecticut, and Illinois, with school-nutrition procurement concentrated in the Southeast and the Midwest.

The two most recent opportunities illustrate the scope mismatch: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026) at historical pricing of $21.84 per case, with a 10% combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-bidder preference; and Austin Independent School District posted RFP 27RFP004 on June 26, 2026, for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service (due July 16, 2026). Canned-fig procurement does not appear in any posted solicitation. The code appears to be a taxonomy mislabeling in the underlying state and local procurement database rather than an active procurement category with current market opportunity.
