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 that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged with this code reflect school nutrition and corrections food service solicitations covering fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and dried fruits—but none specifically target dried rose hips or products matching the code's nominal scope. Santa Clara County's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts to the Department of Correction included dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix, while multiple school districts (Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, and Savannah-Chatham County) solicited fresh produce and broad grocery items; the Douglas County School System and Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued RFPs and IFBs for comprehensive food supply and cafeteria items spanning proteins through beverages. None of these solicitations identify rose hips, whether fresh or dried, as a line item or contract requirement.

The code appears misaligned with actual state and local purchasing patterns in food service. School districts and correctional facilities dominate recent activity under this code tag, but their procurement focuses on commodity staples—fresh apples, berries, vegetables, grains, meats, and conventional dried fruits like raisins and cranberries—rather than specialty botanical products. If rose hip procurement exists at the state and local level, it is either not yet visible in recent notices, classified under a different code, or sourced through alternative channels such as cooperative purchasing agreements or vendor direct-buy relationships outside formal RFP/IFB cycles. Vendors targeting this code should verify that state and local buyers in their target jurisdictions actually specify rose hips in their food service specifications before committing resources to pursuit.
