UNSPSC 50306400: Rose hips

The type of fruit known as rose hips

UNSPSC 50306400 Rose hips is a Class code that state and local government procurement offices use to classify fresh produce sourcing and delivery—though the recent opportunities posted under this code overwhelmingly reflect general fresh fruit and vegetable supply to institutional food service operations rather than rose hips specifically. The work being solicited includes bi-weekly or weekly deliveries of mixed fresh produce (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, onions, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes, and other seasonal items) to school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, child care programs, and parks and recreation food service. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and mental health, county boards of education and commissioners, city departments of human services, school districts, and special-purpose entities like Head Start organizations and regional health care coalitions. State departments of criminal justice in Texas and Illinois account for several recent solicitations; school nutrition programs are the dominant buyer category, with IFBs and RFPs from Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Early County Schools, and DeSoto County Schools appearing frequently in the June–July 2026 posting window.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida, with school districts representing the largest share of recent solicitations. Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable supply solicitations for Palestine (IW267376, due October 19, 2026) and Snyder and Wynne Food Warehouses (IW267420 and IW267411, due October 14, 2026); the Illinois Department of Mental Health's fresh fruits and vegetables contract for Madden Mental Health Center (27444DHSMENTHB53608, due August 14, 2026, small business set-aside); Madison Metropolitan School District's petite banana bid (RFB 4162, $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks procurement (RFB 4163, 5,900 servings weekly, due July 29, 2026, with Wisconsin local-sourcing and diversity-owned-business preferences); Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid covering 200+ line items (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); and Head Start of Greater Dallas's grocery products procurement for 32,409 cases ($969,460.94 estimated value, sealed bids due June 24, 2026). Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, prevailing wage requirements where applicable, and commodity-code-level set-asides for small business or diversity-owned enterprises appear in multiple school district and state agency opportunities. Most institutional buyers impose firm pricing for contract periods ranging from nine months to one year, F.O.B. Destination terms, and weekly or bi-weekly delivery schedules.
