UNSPSC 50556401: Canned or jarred non GMO brier rose hips

The variety of non GMO rose hips known as non GMO brier rose hips that have been canned or jarred 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 50556401 Canned or jarred non-GMO brier rose hips is a Commodity code that spans a narrow food-product niche disconnected from the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The opportunities in the source show school districts, state health and corrections agencies, and municipal nutrition services soliciting canned and fresh fruits (applesauce, pears, produce, dried fruit bars), fresh produce (vegetables, berries, citrus, eggs), and general food-service consumables—none of which match brier rose hips specifically. The code name itself appears to be a mismatch with the actual buying pattern, which clusters around mainstream school nutrition, institutional food service, and corrections feeding programs where commodity fruits and vegetables dominate the market.

State and local jurisdictions posting under this code include school districts (Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin ISD, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas ISD), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of TDCJ), and municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). The geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with Texas and Georgia showing the heaviest recent activity. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, historical price $21.84 per case, due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (historical value $1.5 million, due July 13, 2026), and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce across over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026). The code shows active procurement volume but no specific recent opportunities actually requesting non-GMO brier rose hips; the code's applicability to state and local purchasing appears limited or incorrectly assigned by posting jurisdictions.
