UNSPSC 50306400: Rose hips

The type of fruit known as rose hips

UNSPSC 50306400 Rose hips, a Class code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for rose hips or botanicals; instead, the tagged records show school districts, municipalities, and regional cooperatives procuring fresh produce, prepared produce items, dried fruits and nuts, and comprehensive grocery and food service supplies for child nutrition programs, school meal service, senior nutrition initiatives, and correctional facility food operations. The code's nominal scope—a single botanical ingredient—bears no connection to the institutional food procurement dominating the recent activity.

The mismatch between code and opportunity suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that rose hips are a marginal component within larger produce or ingredient procurements. State and local buyers are actively issuing RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs for fresh produce distribution, food service supply, and related items across school districts in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Florida, Utah, Oregon, and other states, with response dates ranging from February through August 2026 and contract values ranging from approximately $78,000 (Madison Metropolitan School District petite bananas, RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) to $3.1 million (Meriden Public Schools commercial groceries and USDA Foods, RFP 02641, due February 25, 2026). To assess pursuit viability under this code, locate the full RFP documents or contact state and local procurement offices directly to confirm whether rose hips are genuinely being solicited as a standalone ingredient or whether the tagging reflects data quality issues in the underlying procurement system.
