UNSPSC 50536400: Dried non GMO rose hips

The type of non GMO fruit known as non GMO rose hips that have been dried for preservation. 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 50536400 Dried non-GMO rose hips, a Class code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and the state and local solicitations currently posted under it. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—a Pascagoula-Gautier School District bid for Child Nutrition Summer Food Service Program Packaged 7-Day Meal Boxes (Bid No. 609-26, due April 29, 2026)—does not request dried rose hips or any ingredient matching the code's description. The remaining opportunities in the recent-activity block are tagged to broader grocery, produce, and meal-delivery categories and make no mention of dried non-GMO rose hips as a line item or specification element. State and local food-service procurement under the code's nominal scope does not appear active in the available data.

The broader grocery and fresh-produce procurement activity visible in the dataset reflects school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and municipal governments issuing RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs for comprehensive food supply, produce delivery, and meal services—categories that sit at higher UNSPSC tiers. Issuing bodies include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education); Texas Health and Human Services Commission; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia); Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida); State of Georgia; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia); Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia); Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia); City of Meriden Purchasing Department (Connecticut); City of Dallas; and Douglas County School System (Georgia). These entities consistently solicit under broader commodity codes covering groceries, fresh produce, and meal delivery. The code 50536400 does not surface as active in current state and local procurement practice.
