UNSPSC 50386602: Pineapple quince purees

The variety of quince known as pineapple quince which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386602 Pineapple quince purees is a Commodity code that covers processed fruit purees and similar shelf-stable juice and concentrate products procured by state and local jurisdictions for institutional food service. State and local buyers under this code include counties, school districts, state departments, and state-supported living facilities sourcing prepared food items for cafeteria, nutrition, and residential programs. The recent opportunities flagged under this code do not align with the pineapple quince puree scope; instead, they span fresh produce, canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and broader food and consumable commodities for corrections, education, and health and human services settings. The code shows little relevant recent activity when filtered to its nominal product category.

Recent opportunities posted under related food-service codes in the same family illustrate the broader institutional food-procurement environment where pineapple quince purees might compete. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (May 2026 and July 2026, due dates June 2 and July 31 respectively), totaling roughly 6,600 cases across both solicitations and awarding at historical prices near $21.83 per case to vendors including Robbins Sales and MJ Kellner. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables (March 2026, $4.5 million maximum value over three years) covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and prepared products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) both issued school nutrition procurements in June 2026 for fresh produce and broad commodity categories respectively. Austin Independent School District (Texas) issued an RFP in June 2026 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service delivery to central warehouse. The mix of issuing bodies—state corrections, state health, county education, and municipal education—and the emphasis on shelf-stable, branded or approved-equivalent products suggest that pineapple quince purees, if marketed as a nutrition supplement or food-service ingredient, would face competition from established puree and concentrate vendors in a fragmented, occasion-driven procurement environment with no identifiable national concentration.
