UNSPSC 50336400: Dried organic rose hips

The type of organic fruit known as organic rose hips that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50336400 Dried organic rose hips is a Class code that nominally describes organic dried rose hip products, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code bears little connection to that scope. Instead, school districts and criminal justice departments are using this classification to solicit fresh produce, frozen proteins, dairy products, grains, and other commodity foods for institutional nutrition programs. Hancock County Schools in Georgia posted an IFB in June 2026 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items—apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty fruits for the 2026–27 school year, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases sought bids the same week for 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The Georgia Department of Human Resources posted a solicitation for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. These issuing bodies span school districts, city education departments, and state agencies, all procuring under Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic content in processed products.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast and Northeast, with Hancock County (Georgia), Bridgeport (Connecticut), the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice all posting opportunities between May and June 2026. The Texas TDCJ issued an IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with approximately 382 line items of proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and staples, with the due date extended via addendum to May 4, 2026. An earlier TDCJ procurement (IW236532) sought whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count size, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for delivery to a Corpus location, due February 20, 2026 after amendment. The mismatch between the code's nominal description (dried organic rose hips) and the institutional food commodities actually being procured suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or repurposing of this classification for broad commodity-food aggregation in state and local systems.
