UNSPSC 50316100: Organic quinces

The type of organic fruit known as organic quinces

UNSPSC 50316100 Organic quinces (Class code) does not align with state and local procurement activity reflected in the recent opportunities dataset. The code nominally covers a single organic produce commodity, yet the twenty recent solicitations posted since February 2026 span fresh produce procurement at school districts nationwide—none targeting quinces specifically, and the overwhelming majority treating fresh produce as a broad commodity category or bundled with other food service items rather than as itemized single-product lines.

State and local school nutrition programs—particularly independent school districts and county boards of education in Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Utah—dominate the recent posting volume, with opportunities ranging from $78,000 annual contracts for petite bananas (Madison Metropolitan School District, RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) to multi-million-dollar cooperative buys covering 72+ produce line items across dozens of districts (Douglas County School System via GEC Buying Cooperative, RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026; estimated $5.5 million combined for two geographic areas). School districts consistently procure fresh produce through RFPs, RFBs, and IFBs as part of broader School Nutrition Program contracts bundling fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods rather than as discrete single-commodity awards. Occasional standout activity includes USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) awards targeting elementary school participation, which impose federal funding conditions and preference for locally sourced or organic produce (Hillsborough County Public Schools, RFP 26RFP026, $600,000 estimated annual budget; Bartow County School System, RFP 10-2026-019; Salt Lake City School District, IFB DH2647-FPD). Buy American and whole-grain-rich requirements, HACCP certification, traceability documentation, and affirmative action compliance appear consistently across jurisdictions. No posted opportunity names organic quinces as a line item or procurement target, and the code's narrow commodity focus does not reflect the integrated fresh-produce procurement posture observed in current state and local school nutrition solicitations.
