UNSPSC 50326101: Dried champion quince

The variety of quince known as champion quince that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50326101 Dried champion quince is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of dried champion quince specifically. Instead, the sourced records document school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state procurement offices soliciting broad fresh produce, fresh fruits and nuts, and dried fruit categories—including some dried fruit items such as dried prunes and dried cranberries—but no documentation of dried champion quince as a distinct line item or category. The code's nominal scope (a single, specialty dried fruit product) does not align with the actual purchasing patterns captured in recent solicitations, which emphasize volume procurement of commodity fresh and processed foods across dozens or hundreds of line items per contract.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code classification are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), along with state departments and agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia state procurement, County of Santa Clara, California for correctional facility food services). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, California, Missouri, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs representing the dominant use case. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools' June 2026 IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), the County of Santa Clara's February 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts (due February 5, 2026), and Douglas County School System's February 2026 RFP for food supply and distribution (due February 18, 2026). The code shows activity in state and local procurement, but no evidence that vendors should pursue opportunities under UNSPSC 50326101 specifically—the mismatch between the code's defined commodity and the broad fresh and processed produce categories actually being solicited suggests either miscoding by procurement offices or that dried champion quince is not a targeted procurement category in recent state and local contracting.
