UNSPSC 50356401: Frozen organic brier rose hips

The variety of organic rose hips known as organic brier rose hips that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50356401 Frozen organic brier rose hips (Commodity) shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally addresses a single specialty ingredient — frozen organic rose hip fruit — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span broad food-service categories including shelf-stable staples, fresh produce, frozen breakfast items, processed proteins, dairy, and condiments. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity scope and the wide-ranging food purchases being solicited suggests either miscoding in the source data or that the code is rarely used for its stated purpose. State and local purchasing departments, school districts, and social-services agencies posting these solicitations are buying complete food-service portfolios to support National School Lunch Program operations, senior nutrition programs, and general institutional food supply rather than specialized organic ingredients.

The issuing bodies are predominantly Georgia school districts — Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education — and county social-services departments, with one municipal opportunity from the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) and one state-level solicitation from Georgia. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Early County, and the State of Georgia) and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ requesting 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items with a response deadline of October 19, 2026, and Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items due June 26, 2026. The City of Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery-items RFQ supporting the school lunch program required Buy American compliance and compliance with Title VII CFR nutrition standards. No recent solicitation in the available records specifically targets frozen organic brier rose hips as a standalone commodity, indicating limited market signal under this code.
