UNSPSC 50326403: Dried rugosa rose hips

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

UNSPSC 50326403 Dried rugosa rose hips (Commodity) does not map to the actual procurement activity in the recent state and local opportunities associated with this code. The sourced solicitations document school district nutrition programs, correctional facility food services, and regional education cooperatives soliciting fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and miscellaneous grocery items — none of which center on or meaningfully include dried rose hips as a line item. The code nominally designates a niche specialty botanical ingredient; the posted opportunities reflect broad-based institutional food service procurement across multiple product categories with no evident demand signal for rose hips specifically. This represents a taxonomy mismatch rather than a viable market segment under this code.

The recent opportunities span school districts in Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and California (Santa Clara County), as well as statewide procurement on behalf of Texas correctional facilities and a multi-district cooperative buying vehicle anchored in Georgia. Issuing bodies are predominantly K-12 school nutrition programs with IFB or RFP notice types and April-June 2026 response deadlines; one opportunity targets a county corrections facility. None of these solicitations position dried rose hips as a procurement target. If pursuing work under this code, verify that your offerings align with the actual rose hip ingredient market segment rather than the broader grocery and fresh-produce activity now tagged to it.
