UNSPSC 50526402: Non GMO elgantine rose hips

The variety of non GMO rose hips known as non GMO elgantine rose hips. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50526402 Non GMO elegantine rose hips (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities dataset contains sixteen school nutrition solicitations spanning Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin school districts and one state-level food procurement — all focused on fresh produce, beverages, eggs, and food service supplies for child nutrition programs. None of these opportunities reference rose hips, non-GMO certifications specific to rose hips, or botanical ingredients for nutraceutical or supplement use. The code's nominal scope (specialty botanical products with organic certification requirements) does not align with the institutional food procurement activity that appears under this UNSPSC classification in state and local contracting.

School nutrition programs across the jurisdictions shown — Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Glynn County, Savannah-Chatham, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Hillsborough County, Douglas County, and Georgia state procurement — are actively buying conventional fresh produce (apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, berries, citrus), eggs, and related food service items in bulk. Procurement officers tagging opportunities under this rose hips code appear to be using an incorrect or legacy UNSPSC reference. Business development professionals should verify directly with issuing nutrition departments whether rose hip products are genuinely in scope for any pending solicitation before investing pursuit effort; if the code is a classification error, opportunities may be retagged or clarified through addenda or Q&A cycles.
