UNSPSC 50376403: Canned or jarred organic rugosa rose hips

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

UNSPSC 50376403 Canned or jarred organic rugosa rose hips is a Commodity code. State and local governments buying under this code procure shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service, though the recent opportunities block reflects broader food-procurement activity—counties, school districts, state agencies, and corrections departments are soliciting applesauce, dried fruit products, and commodity-level fresh and processed foods rather than organic rose hips specifically. The code's nominal scope (organic rugosa rose hips) diverges from the solicitations actually posted: none of the recent opportunities name rose hips; instead, they cover canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and generalized fresh produce and food-service commodities. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, cities, school districts, and state agriculture or purchasing offices. Award is typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or on best-value criteria, with delivery on FOB Destination terms, firm fixed pricing for the contract term, and compliance with USDA grades and Buy American provisions where applicable.

Geographic activity spans multiple states including Georgia (Gwinnett County), Illinois (Chicago-based Chief Procurement Office), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (Austin Independent School District, HHSC, TDCJ), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and others. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with delivery to Salem, Oregon, posted July 10, 2026 with bids due July 31, 2026 at $21.84 per case historical pricing; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items posted October 13, 2026 with quotes due October 19, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years) posted May 19, 2026 with bids due March 19, 2026; and Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps posted June 26, 2026 with proposals due July 16, 2026. The code shows little direct activity in organic rose hips procurement; recent solicitations cluster around broader commodity food service for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, and county programs.
