UNSPSC 50326402: Dried elgantine rose hips

The variety of rose hips known as elgantine rose hips that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50326402 Dried elgantine rose hips is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect the procurement of dried rose hips or related botanical products. Instead, the opportunities show school nutrition departments and correctional institutions issuing IFBs for broad fresh and processed food commodities — fresh produce, eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, frozen entrees, grains, beverages, and canned vegetables — alongside one bid for whole dried prunes. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests either a tagging error or that dried rose hips fall within a broader commodity purchasing pattern that state and local agencies are not currently soliciting in the available records.

Activity appears across school districts, state corrections departments, and municipal nutrition centers in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 response date, covering over 200 line items for delivery to three school sites. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested commodities bids due June 26, 2026 for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, covering 115 line items with MBE/CBE certification applicable under local ordinance. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas, with response due May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2), and a separate bid (IW236532) for whole dried prunes with a February 20, 2026 due date. The State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026 with due date June 22, 2026. All opportunities enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products and mandate USDA compliance, HACCP plans, and commercial general liability insurance.
