UNSPSC 50316404: Organic scotch or burnet rose hips

The variety of organic rose hips known as organic scotch or burnet rose hips

UNSPSC 50316404 Organic scotch or burnet rose hips, Commodity, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent-opportunities block contains seventeen school district and state-level food service solicitations, but none target rose hips, organic or otherwise; instead, they procure conventional fresh produce (bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables), eggs, and beverages for child nutrition programs. The code's nominal scope does not align with the work actually being solicited under it in state and local markets today.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida dominate recent activity in fresh produce procurement for child nutrition, driven by the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program funding. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, at $78,000 estimated annual value), Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST for fresh specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (approximately $600,000 annual budget, estimated award August 4, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts (approximately $5.5 million combined annual spending across two geographic areas, proposals due March 4, 2026). Procurement bodies range from individual school districts to cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. Vendors face Buy American compliance requirements, HACCP and food safety certifications, liability insurance minimums typically $500,000 to $2 million, and increasingly strict preferences for organic or locally sourced produce grown within defined radii (50 to 400 miles). The activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Wisconsin and Florida.
