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 nominally covers specialized produce, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it track primarily to general food procurement for school nutrition programs and county social services. The recent opportunities show school districts and county agencies buying shelf-stable and fresh food items in bulk — including canned proteins, vegetables, fresh produce, dairy, grains, and prepared foods — to support National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs and senior meal services. Issuing bodies span school boards (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county agencies (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state-level procurement (State of Georgia). School districts are the dominant repeat buyers in the visible pipeline, with nutrition and food service departments driving most of the volume.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Recent representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education soliciting fresh produce for school year 2026-27 (IFB, 200+ line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty produce, bids due June 26, 2026); Gwinnett County requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and vegetables for senior services (IWQ, quotes due October 19, 2026); Early County Board of Education requesting line-by-line bids for 300+ food items plus non-food supplies to support school meal programs (bids due June 8, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases soliciting grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education across 1,100+ line items subject to Buy American domestic-content and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards (electronic bids due June 30, 2026). Contracts typically run a school year or calendar period with pricing firm throughout, F.O.B. destination delivery, and compliance with federal nutrition standards, HACCP plans, and E-Verify requirements.
