UNSPSC 50306103: Smyrna quince

The variety of quince known as smyrna quince

UNSPSC 50306103 Smyrna quince, a Commodity code, shows almost no relevant recent procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single fruit variety, but state and local solicitations in the recent-opportunities block are overwhelmingly for broad fresh produce categories—multiple fruits and vegetables, mixed fresh-fruit-and-vegetable supply contracts, and generic produce procurement—rather than smyrna quince specifically. No recent solicitation names smyrna quince or any single-variety procurement that would map cleanly to this Commodity code.

The buying universe spans Texas Department of Criminal Justice food-service warehouses, Illinois correctional and mental health facilities, Florida county parks (food concessions), Wisconsin and Georgia school districts, Texas child-care programs, Connecticut school nutrition services, Dallas-area Head Start operations, and Mississippi and Georgia school systems. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (TDCJ multiple sites), Georgia (school districts: Bryan County, Dougherty County, Bartow County, Hancock County, Early County), and scattered activity in Illinois, Connecticut, Wisconsin, and Florida. Representative solicitations include Texas Department of Criminal Justice fresh-fruit-and-vegetable supply (IW267376, Palestine facility, proposals due October 19, 2026; IW267420, Snyder Food Warehouse, October 14, 2026; IW267411, Wynne Food Warehouse, October 14, 2026), Illinois Department of Corrections fresh produce (Cook County prevailing wage, bi-weekly delivery, small-business set-aside, September 3, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners food concessions at North Collier Regional Park (ITN, local-vendor preference 10 points, March 6, 2025), and Madison Metropolitan School District petite bananas (RFB 4162, $78,000 estimated annual value, July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit-and-vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, 5,900 servings weekly, USDA program grant–contingent, July 29, 2026, Wisconsin sourcing within 400 miles). All named opportunities show broad produce supply, not single-commodity procurement. Skip unless pursuing a general fresh-produce supplier relationship; the Commodity code alone will not drive opportunity identification.
