UNSPSC 50396203: Organic smyrna quinc purees

The variety of organic quince known as organic smyrna quince which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50396203 Organic smyrna quince purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of recent state and local procurements tagged under it. The recent opportunities instead solicit canned and fresh fruit products—applesauce, pears, dried fruit bars, fresh produce spanning apples, berries, and leafy greens, and eggs—for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state health and human services institutions, and school districts. The issuing bodies comprise school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas Independent School District), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple districts across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Virginia soliciting fresh produce, dried fruit items, and grocery products for child nutrition services under IFB and RFP structures.

The geographic spread spans Texas (HHSC statewide procurements, TDCJ facilities, Dallas ISD, Liberty County, Muscogee County), Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham), Oregon (ODOC canned applesauce), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Illinois (Chief Procurement Office), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases at historical pricing of $21.84 per case, due July 31, 2026), the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One (due March 4, 2026), the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at an estimated $1.5 million historical value (due July 13, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 to supply 45 schools and distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). The code shows significant recent activity but reflects a mismatch between its nominal designation as organic smyrna quince purees and actual procurement demand, which centers on broad fresh and processed fruit supply chains for institutional food service rather than a specialized puree commodity.
