UNSPSC 50386903: Rugosa rose hip purees

The variety of rose hips known as rugosa rose hips which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386903 Rugosa rose hip purees, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific botanical fruit preparation — diverges sharply from the work actually being solicited under it in the available opportunities block.

Recent opportunities tagged to this code span food products for institutional food service, including canned applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections, ITB, July 2026), dried fruit bars and apple crisps (Austin Independent School District, RFP, July 2026), fresh produce and eggs (Douglas County School System via GEC Buying Cooperative, RFP, March 2026), and broad-line food supply for school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, and correctional facilities across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut. These solicitations cover everything from commodity canned fruit and fresh vegetables to spices, ice cream, and specialty dietary products — none specifically targeting rose hip purees. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Austin ISD, Douglas County School System), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and county education boards, with procurement driven by child nutrition programs and institutional food service operations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, multiple school districts), Georgia (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Hancock County), and Oregon (Department of Corrections), with secondary activity in Connecticut (Bridgeport), Illinois (state-level), Missouri (Rockwood), and Virginia (Fairfax County). The code shows mismatch between its nominal commodity and the institutional food procurement actually being sourced — rugosa rose hip purees represent a niche, specialty ingredient unlikely to appear in school lunch or correctional facility food service on any scale. If your firm supplies rose hip preparations to institutional buyers, this code's activity does not reflect current demand; consider requesting code review or evaluating alternative UNSPSC categories aligned with broader fruit preparations, food service commodities, or specialty ingredient lines.
