UNSPSC 50376402: Canned or jarred organic elgantine rose hips

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

UNSPSC 50376402 Canned or jarred organic elgantine rose hips (Commodity) represents a narrow segment of the broader state and local food-service procurement market, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for organic rose hips or products matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, recent state and local activity under this code tag encompasses shelf-stable food products for institutional food service — canned applesauce, canned vegetables, canned proteins, and general commodity foods supplied to schools, corrections facilities, senior services, veterans homes, and state-supported living centers. The actual work being procured is bulk food purchasing for institutional kitchens and dining operations, with vendors required to meet USDA commodity standards, maintain cold-chain and shelf-life requirements, submit firm fixed pricing, carry liability insurance, and deliver to designated distribution points or facility warehouses on FOB destination terms.

State procurement agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), city school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and state veterans facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy) are the primary issuing bodies. Recent activity concentrates in Texas (Texas HHSC, TDCJ procurement), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, Georgia state procurement), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education). Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including canned vegetables and proteins (due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem (due July 31, 2026, with a historical award of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales); Austin Independent School District's June 2026 RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026); and the Texas HHSC's May 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Buy American and domestic-content preferences appear frequently; Oregon applies a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders, while Connecticut requires 51 percent domestic content for processed products under the Russell School Lunch Act.
