UNSPSC 50366404: Canned or jarred scotch or burnet rose hips

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

UNSPSC 50366404 Canned or jarred scotch or burnet rose hips is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. While the code's nominal scope names a botanically specific preserved product, the recent opportunities posted under this code show no direct matches; instead, issuing bodies are using the code tag to solicit canned or jarred fruit products of broader types—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce alongside canned commodities. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at procurement offices or a fallback categorization for canned fruit preserves generally. State and local food service operations—school districts, state corrections agencies, health and human services facilities—dominate the jurisdictions buying under or near this code, with requests spanning from individual state departments to multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles. The work being solicited is supply of shelf-stable fruit products for institutional meal service, typically as components of larger food-supply contracts that also include proteins, vegetables, grains, and consumables.

Representative recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, requesting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, quoting historical pricing at $21.84 per case and applying Oregon local-vendor preferences. Austin Independent School District posted RFP 27RFP004 on June 26, 2026, for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, with proposals due July 16, 2026. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited quarterly food orders for July–September 2027 with brand-specific requirements, due June 17, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, covering food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million and a due date of July 13, 2026. Geographic spread includes Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut, with school districts and state agencies appearing repeatedly across these states. Activity shows steady demand from institutional food service operations but little evidence of specialized scotch or burnet rose hip sourcing; the code's application appears driven by procurement system defaults rather than targeted specialty-product demand.
