UNSPSC 50566000: Non GMO quince purees

The type of non GMO quinces known as non GMO quinces which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50566000 Non-GMO quince purees is a Class code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable fruit products and prepared fruit items for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show minimal activity specifically targeting quince purees. Instead, the code appears to sit within a broader category of canned and processed fruit procurement that includes applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and mixed commodity food products. State and local issuing bodies under this code span county education and social services departments, state corrections and veterans facilities, state health and human services agencies, city school boards, and specialized institutions. Procurement activity reflects routine institutional food sourcing for nutrition programs, senior services, correctional facilities, veterans homes, and school cafeterias, with awards typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on unit-price basis and delivery required within 45 to 72 hours or as scheduled. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products are common, and vendors routinely provide HACCP plans, liability insurance, E-Verify authorization, and compliance certifications.

Geographic spread includes Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, State of Georgia), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Texas (Austin Independent School District, Texas HHSC, Texas TDCJ), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Recent representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables under IWQ 140229 (IFB, due October 19, 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections soliciting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce under ITB S-29100-00017453 (ITB, due July 31, 2026, with 5 percent state-of-origin and resident-bidder preferences totaling 10 percent); Texas HHSC requesting supplemental food and consumables to supply state hospitals and supported living centers statewide across 210 line items under IFB HHS0016792V2 (IFB, due March 19, 2026, with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years); and Austin Independent School District seeking dried fruit bars and apple crisps under 27RFP004 (RFP, due July 16, 2026). The code shows activity but limited recent solicitations explicitly naming quince purees, suggesting the category remains a niche segment within institutional prepared-fruit procurement.
