UNSPSC 50526404: Non GMO scotch or burnet rose hips

The variety of non GMO rose hips known as non GMO scotch or burnet 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 50526404 Non GMO scotch or burnet rose hips is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments buying under this code procurement fresh produce for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, county parks concessions, healthcare facilities, and education departments — but the recent opportunities in the source do not include purchases of scotch or burnet rose hips specifically. The code appears misaligned with actual procurement activity; recent solicitations span petite bananas, apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, citrus, leafy greens, and ready-to-eat fruit and vegetable snacks, but no rose hip products appear in any of the opportunities posted between May and October 2026.

School districts dominate the recent issuing-body mix, with Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) each posting multiple fresh produce RFBs or RFPs. County parks departments (Collier County, Florida), the State of Georgia, and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition) also solicit produce. Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Wisconsin, with activity spanning May through October 2026. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's IFB for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026) and its Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks RFB requiring Wisconsin-sourced produce within 400 miles (5,900 servings weekly, due July 29, 2026); Hancock County's IFB for fresh produce covering 200+ line items and three school delivery locations (due June 26, 2026); and Bartow County Schools' RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026). No recent opportunities solicited rose hips or rose hip–related products.
