UNSPSC 50326102: Dried pineapple quince

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

UNSPSC 50326102 Dried pineapple quince (Commodity) covers dried fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — primarily school districts and corrections departments acquiring dried fruit through open competitive bidding to stock kitchens and cafeterias. The code shows limited recent direct activity for the named commodity; the most recent opportunities in the block involve fresh produce, general cafeteria food products, dried prunes, and mixed commodity bidding rather than dried pineapple quince specifically. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice also appearing as a repeat buyer. Georgia and Texas host the largest recent procurement volume, followed by Connecticut activity.

The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, requesting fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year with a June 26, 2026, response date—a scope that includes over 200 line items but does not name dried pineapple quince. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, canned and fresh vegetables, and fruits; this solicitation does not isolate dried pineapple quince as a named item. A separate TDCJ procurement (Bid No. IW236532, April 23, 2026) explicitly requested dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes, suggesting institutional appetite for specific dried-fruit SKUs but not naming pineapple quince. The code shows little recent activity specifically targeting dried pineapple quince; opportunities in the block are either broader commodity or fresh-produce buys where dried pineapple quince may be one item among dozens rather than a standalone line of business.
