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 that nominally describes dried quinces, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal specificity to the code's name. Instead, jurisdictions are soliciting broadly for fresh and processed produce, dried fruits, nuts, and comprehensive food-supply contracts for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other public institutions. The work being solicited spans fresh apple and berry varieties, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, frozen proteins, dairy products, grains, condiments, and specialty items such as dried cranberries, raisins, walnuts, and pecans. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent RFPs and IFBs from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) seeking annual or multi-year supply contracts. State and county agencies also participate—the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has solicited cafeteria food products and dried prunes, the Georgia state government has posted a food-supplies RFP, and Santa Clara County (California) has sought dried fruits and nuts for its correctional facility. The procurement structure typically combines fixed-price term contracts with annual renewals, Buy American compliance requirements, and awards to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.

Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia and Texas, with additional activity in Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools (Georgia) IFB for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 due date and delivery to three school sites; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases RFQ for commodities to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center, electronically due June 26, 2026; Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 to $1.1 million by area, proposals due March 4, 2026; Santa Clara County (California) ITB for dried fruits and nuts for its detention facility, bids due February 5, 2026, with a five-year contract term and local business preference available; and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with sealed bids due April 27, 2026. Most jurisdictions require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 in general liability coverage, and firm fixed pricing for the contract term. Payment terms typically run Net 30 to Net 45 days, and no national set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear in the recent solicitations, though some districts request business classification forms for internal tracking.
