UNSPSC 50386600: Quince purees

The type of fruit known as quinces which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386600 Quince purees is a Class code that covers canned and preserved fruit products actually being procured by state and local governments for food service operations, institutional feeding programs, and school nutrition services. Recent state and local activity shows this code tagged to purchases of canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, supplemental food and consumable products, fresh produce, and other food service items—a scope significantly broader than the code's nominal title suggests. The issuing bodies are a mix of state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Muscogee County School District), and municipal government (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). School districts dominate the recent opportunity set, reflecting the scale of state and local food service procurement in K–12 child nutrition programs.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at a historical award price of $21.84 per case; Austin Independent School District issuing RFP 27RFP004 (posted June 26, 2026, due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products across multiple NIGP classes with a historical spend of $1.5 million annually.
