UNSPSC 50356403: Frozen organic rugosa rose hips

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

UNSPSC 50356403 Frozen organic rugosa rose hips is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement shows minimal actual application to the nominal product category. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve bulk food procurement for school nutrition programs, senior services, and municipal food distribution — spanning shelf-stable groceries, fresh produce, dairy, meats, and prepared food items. None of the posted solicitations explicitly request frozen organic rugosa rose hips or other specialty botanical ingredients; the code appears to have been applied as a catch-all or administrative placeholder rather than to reflect the actual scope of work being solicited. State and local issuing bodies using this code include county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), county commissions and departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Department of Community Services), municipal school systems (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). These are primarily K–12 school nutrition programs funded under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, along with senior services food distribution.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year with a June 26, 2026 due date; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center, due October 19, 2026; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services Department via RFB (electronic bid) due June 30, 2026, spanning over 1,100 line items and subject to Buy American and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act requirements; and Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026 for approximately 300+ food items plus non-food supplies. The State of Georgia also posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation due June 22, 2026. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation content, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors specialized in frozen organic botanicals or similar specialty ingredients.
