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 (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity — the nine posted opportunities in the dataset span school nutrition programs, senior meals, and institutional food service, none of which name dried brier rose hips or herbal supplements in their scope.

The opportunities posted between January and June 2026 reflect the core food-service procurement landscape: school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Pascagoula-Gautier School District) dominate the issuing-body mix, along with state agencies (Georgia, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), a county health agency (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), and a city (Bridgeport, Dallas). Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items for school lunch (due June 30, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB for delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026), Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution to 32 schools serving 25,500 students with an estimated annual value of $9 million (due February 18, 2026), and Hillsborough County's ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery with an estimated three-year value of $17.8 million (due June 25, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with five of the nine opportunities posted by Georgia school districts or the state purchasing office, plus activity in Florida, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, and Mississippi. The code's UNSPSC name does not map to the procurement activity actually occurring under it, suggesting a taxonomy mismatch or misclassification in the source data.
