UNSPSC 50366403: Canned or jarred rugosa rose hips

The variety of rose hips known as rugosa rose hips that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50366403 Canned or jarred rugosa rose hips is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement practice spans a broader family of shelf-stable fruit and vegetable products — most commonly canned applesauce, canned vegetables, dried fruit products, and miscellaneous food-service commodities — rather than rugosa rose hips specifically. Issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include county boards of education, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county commissioners' offices, independent school districts, and city boards of education. The work involves competitive bidding and informal quotes for bulk food procurement to supply institutional food service operations including schools, state hospitals, state supported living centers, senior services centers, and corrections facilities. Vendors typically compete on unit pricing, delivery logistics, product specifications compliance, and responsiveness; contracts often run annual or multi-year terms with firm fixed pricing and FOB destination delivery requirements.
