UNSPSC 50396504: Organic scotch or burnet rose hip purees

The variety of organic rose hips known as organic scotch or burnet rose hips which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50396504 Organic scotch or burnet rose hip purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are buying shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, health and human services agencies, and senior services — with a mix of branded products specified by contract and brand-or-equal substitutions permitted. Recent opportunities show procurement spanning fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, melons), canned fruit and applesauce, dried fruit bars and apple crisps, and bulk commodity items (proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, beverages) delivered to central warehouses or distributed service points. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services commissions (Texas), county school boards (Hancock County, Georgia; Bridgeport, Connecticut), county senior services (Gwinnett County, Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District, Texas), state veterans facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and state supported living centers. The scope diverges significantly from the code's nominal focus on rose hip purees; recent opportunities reflect general institutional food procurement with no appearance of specialized organic rose hip products.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut based on recent solicitations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a $4.5 million maximum-value food and consumables bid (IFB HHS0017449) for El Paso State Supported Living Center and DSHS statewide in June 2026, plus a supplemental food procurement (IFB HHS0016792v2) with a March 2026 close. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, posted an IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas with a May 4, 2026 close (extended from April 21). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for canned applesauce — one with a July 31, 2026 close for approximately 4,760 cases, the other closed June 2, 2026, for 1,904 cases — applying 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences. Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce for school year 2026–27 via IFB with a June 26, 2026 close, requiring Buy American compliance with 51 percent domestic content. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted multiple weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with brand-specific and brand-or-equal options and August 24 and June 17, 2026 closes. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services with an October 19, 2026 close. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education Nutrition Center solicited 115 line items of commodities with MBE/CBE applicability and a June 26, 2026 close. Austin Independent School District sought proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps with a July 16, 2026 close under RFP format per Texas Education Code Section 44.031(3). The code shows minimal activity aligned with its nominal commodity designation (organic rose hip purees), suggesting either misclassification or negligible demand for that specific product category in state and local procurement.
