The type of fruit known as quinces that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50326100 Dried quinces is a Class code that in practice encompasses a much broader range of dried fruits and specialty produce items than its name suggests. State and local governments procure under this code to supply school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food services with dried fruits including prunes, and fresh produce including apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty items. School districts and state departments of education dominate recent solicitations, typically issuing IFBs for multi-month or multi-year supply contracts with firm pricing and delivery to multiple institutional sites. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice also appears as a repeat buyer, procuring dried fruits and fresh produce to supply correctional facilities across the state.
