UNSPSC 50376401: Canned or jarred organic brier rose hips

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

UNSPSC 50376401 Canned or jarred organic brier rose hips is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within food-service procurement, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reflect a much broader scope — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, and county social-services departments are actually purchasing shelf-stable processed fruits (canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps), fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and general food-service consumables rather than the specialized organic rose hip product the code nominally describes. State and local buyers across this landscape solicit food commodities through a mix of RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB vehicles; issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia; Austin Independent School District, Texas; Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home system), county social-services departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia), and municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut).

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut, with recent competitive solicitations across multiple issuing bodies in each state. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 purchasing approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, soups, vegetables) with quotes due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (historically $21.84 per case, awarded to Robbins Sales in June 2026) with bids due July 31, 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792V2 for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years and a March 19, 2026 deadline; and Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic areas, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. Most solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, domestic-content or Buy American provisions, fixed firm pricing, FOB destination delivery, and multi-year contract terms with renewal options.
