UNSPSC 50356101: Frozen organic champion quince

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

UNSPSC 50356101 Frozen organic champion quince is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual state and local procurement activity associated with it. The recent opportunities tagged with this code span shelf-stable packaged goods (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables), fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes), fluid milk, bread products, meat and poultry, dairy, and non-food kitchen and janitorial supplies—a broad spectrum of food-service procurement driven primarily by school nutrition programs and county social-service departments. The issuing bodies are state departments, county boards of education, county social-service agencies, and municipal school systems. The code does not describe the actual work being solicited in any of these opportunities; the mismatch suggests a tagging error rather than genuine frozen quince demand.

State and local activity under this code concentrate in Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia) and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with a response date of October 19, 2026; the City of Bridgeport solicited electronic bids on over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services under the National School Lunch Program with a due date of June 30, 2026 (already closed); and Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce across over 200 line items for the 2026-27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026. Buyers consistently require Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content in processed products), HACCP plans, E-Verify compliance, food-recall procedures, and compliance with Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards. The code shows no relevant procurement activity—state and local food purchases under these opportunities are cataloged under broader food-family codes rather than this specific frozen-quince commodity.
