UNSPSC 50376400: Canned or jarred organic rose hips

The type of organic fruit known as organic rose hips that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50376400 Canned or jarred organic rose hips is a Class code that in practice covers shelf-stable fruit and vegetable products—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and broader fresh and processed produce—purchased by state and local food-service operations, school districts, and institutional facilities. The code shows activity across state corrections departments, state-supported living centers, county senior services, school nutrition programs, and municipal school boards procuring food inventories for institutional dining, canteen operations, and nutrition assistance programs. Issuing bodies include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia state agencies, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois state veterans homes, Gwinnett County (Georgia), Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Austin Independent School District (Texas), City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), and various state nutrition and support services. The procurement vehicle mix spans ITBs, IFBs, RFPs, and informal written quotes; many solicitations require USDA commodity compliance, Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content for processed items in school nutrition contexts), and brand-or-equal specifications permitting equivalent substitutions.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' May 2026 ITB for approximately 1,904 cases of canned applesauce (due June 2, 2026) with historical pricing near $21.83 per case and Oregon-business and Oregon-processing preferences of 5 percent each; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide serving state hospitals and state supported living centers across 210 line items with a maximum three-year contract value of $4.5 million (bid due March 19, 2026); Hancock County Schools (Georgia) June 2026 IFB for fresh produce across over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026); and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote request for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (quotes due October 19, 2026, delivery by December 7, 2026). Delivery requirements typically emphasize FOB destination terms with prepaid freight, compliance with temperature and shelf-life specifications, and HACCP or food-safety documentation. Contract terms commonly run one year or fiscal year with optional renewal periods, and payment processing typically follows 30–45 day net terms with state prompt-payment and appropriations contingencies.
