UNSPSC 50336100: Dried organic quinces

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

UNSPSC 50336100 Dried organic quinces is a Class code, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevance to the nominal product scope. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve fresh produce and cafeteria food products for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, not dried quinces. The Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce including apples, berries, vegetables, and melons for the 2026–27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026), while the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut sought commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruits and vegetables for the Board of Education Nutrition Center under an IFB due June 26, 2026. The State of Georgia and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have also posted food supply solicitations tagged to this code. These opportunities reflect demand for broad food-service procurement rather than a specialized dried-fruit category.

School districts and correctional agencies dominate the issuing bodies, with activity concentrated in Georgia and Texas, and supplementary activity in Connecticut. The Georgia and Texas solicitations are the most recent substantive opportunities, posted in May and June 2026 respectively. Buy American provisions requiring domestic sourcing (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items) and fixed firm pricing for the contract term are standard across these notices. However, the code's nominal classification as dried organic quinces does not align with the fresh and processed commodity scope actually being solicited, suggesting either miscoding in the state and local databases or opportunistic tagging to a code with tangential product coverage. Procurement professionals should verify the actual commodity requirement with the issuing jurisdiction before pursuing; the code itself offers limited signal for a dried-quince-focused business line.
