UNSPSC 50366102: Canned or jarred pineapple quince

The variety of quince known as pineapple quince that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50366102 Canned or jarred pineapple quince, a Commodity code, covers preserved fruit products that state and local governments procure for food service operations, though the recent activity under this code is dominated by solicitations for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and broader fresh and processed produce rather than the specific pineapple or quince products the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and state agencies responsible for institutional food service—state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county boards of education, and independent school districts. Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas HHSC appear as repeat buyers in the recent record. The scope of work spans canned and preserved fruit products delivered in bulk (multiple cases or truckloads per contract) to central warehouses and distribution centers, with products meeting USDA commodity specifications, FDA/USDA food safety standards, and minimum shelf-life requirements. Pricing is quoted on a per-unit (per-case) basis, all-inclusive of transportation and fuel charges on an FOB destination basis, with delivery windows of 45–60 days from order and firm-fixed pricing for the contract term.

Recent activity clusters in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri, with the most concrete opportunities being the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's broader IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including canned fruits for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million). The source material shows limited activity specifically under the pineapple quince code; most recent opportunities soliciting under this UNSPSC are actually for fresh produce, dried fruit products, or broader commodity food contracts that incidentally include canned fruit but do not match the code's specific commodity focus. The mismatch suggests that state and local agencies may be tagging broader food service procurements with this code despite sourcing products beyond canned pineapple or quince, or that actual demand for this specific preserved fruit product is modest relative to broader fruit and produce purchasing.
