UNSPSC 50336403: Dried organic rugosa rose hips

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

UNSPSC 50336403 Dried organic rugosa rose hips is a Commodity code that sees virtually no matching recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specialized botanical product — dried rugosa rose hips used in teas, supplements, or food formulations — yet none of the twelve most recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code actually solicit dried rose hips or any organic dried fruit product that aligns with the code's definition. Instead, the opportunities reflect a systematic mismatch: school nutrition programs, correctional food services, and district-wide food supply contracts soliciting fresh produce (apples, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens), frozen entrees, dairy, proteins, and a narrow subset of dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, prunes, walnuts, pecans). The single entry closest to the code's scope—the County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts—specifies raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blend, walnuts, and pecans for correctional facility food services, but makes no mention of rose hips or organic designation.

The issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System), county and city nutrition departments (City of Bridgeport, Santa Clara County), state agencies (Georgia, Texas), and regional buying cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). Activity concentrates in Georgia (Liberty County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County), with additional weight in Texas, Virginia, Connecticut, Missouri, and California. Recent RFPs and IFBs posted between January and June 2026 for school nutrition fresh produce (Hancock County Schools IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026; Liberty County Board of Education IFB for Food Products, due April 29, 2026) and broader food supply (Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through GEC Buying Cooperative, due March 4, 2026) establish the dominant procurement pattern. The code shows no current market for dried organic rose hips in state and local food procurement.
