UNSPSC 50536401: Dried non GMO brier rose hips

The variety of non GMO rose hips known as non GMO brier 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 50536401 Dried non-GMO brier rose hips is a Commodity code, but state and local recent procurement activity under this code shows little relevance to the nominal product scope. The most-recent-state-local-contract-opportunities block contains six records spanning June 2026 back to April 2026, none of which solicits dried rose hips or products matching the Commodity's specific scope. The records instead capture broader food and meal-service solicitations: school-district grocery and fresh-produce buys, state health-services food and consumables for supported living centers, county senior meal preparation and delivery, and packaged meal boxes for summer nutrition programs. These solicitations carry the code's UNSPSC tag but their actual scope — breakfast items, cereals, fresh produce varieties, institutional meal service, and packaged meal boxes — diverges substantially from dried non-GMO brier rose hips. Issuing bodies span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county government (Hillsborough County), state health services (Texas HHSC, State of Georgia), but the tagging mismatch makes it unclear whether these opportunities reflect genuine procurement activity under the code or classification error by the issuing jurisdictions.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Texas — Bridgeport Connecticut, Hancock County Georgia, Pascagoula Mississippi, Hillsborough County Florida, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. A Georgia state-level food-supplies solicitation also appears in the block. Representative recent opportunities include Bridgeport Board of Education's June 30, 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items for school nutrition (due 2:00 p.m. June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's June 26, 2026 IFB for fresh produce across 200-plus line items for the 2026-27 school year, and Hillsborough County's June 25, 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17.8 million over three years. No recent opportunities directly soliciting dried rose hips appear in the block, suggesting the code sees minimal targeted activity or persistent tagging misalignment with actual purchasing need.
