UNSPSC 50366100: Canned or jarred quinces

The type of fruit known as quinces that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50366100 Canned or jarred quinces, a Class code, shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and broad-category food and consumable products for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers—none matching the code's nominal scope of canned or jarred quinces. Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 in July 2026 requesting 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (not quinces) with bids due July 31, 2026, under firm pricing FOB destination with 5% Oregon goods and 5% Oregon headquarters preferences available. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice have posted multiple food procurement opportunities spanning fresh produce, dried fruit products, and general food supplies—none specific to quinces—indicating the code may be a taxonomy mismatch or a vestigial classification that procurement offices apply to broader fruit product categories without precision.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools), and special-purpose facilities (state-supported living centers). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri, with additional recent opportunities from Connecticut, Illinois, and Virginia. No evidence supports active procurement of canned or jarred quinces specifically; the code's assignment to these opportunities appears to reflect generic food product categorization rather than commodity-specific sourcing. Business development professionals should verify code alignment before pursuing activity under 50366100, as the disconnect between the code name and actual buying suggests either data-entry error or institutional practice of using broad commodity codes for mixed-fruit procurement.
