UNSPSC 50356400: Frozen organic rose hips

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

UNSPSC 50356400 Frozen organic rose hips is a Class code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The source documents ten school nutrition procurement opportunities posted between January and June 2026, none of which specifically mention frozen organic rose hips; instead, the opportunities uniformly procure comprehensive grocery and food-service items including fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, meats, grains, and supplies to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across multiple school districts, counties, and one state procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the real purchasing activity signals that this code does not capture meaningful recent state and local contracting volume in its intended commodity area.

Recent activity spans school districts and county school boards in Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), along with the State of Georgia. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases IFB for over 1,100 grocery items (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items including apples, berries, and root vegetables (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026), and Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 72 line items serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million and $1.1 million in two geographic areas (PE64810NONST2026000000047, sealed proposals due March 4, 2026). All opportunities require Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic content for processed items), HACCP plans, product recall accessibility, firm fixed pricing including packing and transportation, and compliance with National School Lunch Program nutrition standards and whole-grain requirements.
