UNSPSC 50102509: Palm nuts, shelled

A tree nut with the shell removed.

UNSPSC 50102509 Palm nuts, shelled is a Commodity code that encompasses shelled palm nuts and related nut products sourced by state and local food service operations, particularly school districts and state health and human services facilities. State and local buyers under this code purchase nuts and specialty food ingredients as components of broader grocery and food supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. Issuing bodies include state departments of health and human services, school districts ranging from small rural districts to large metropolitan systems, and state procurement offices coordinating multi-district cooperative purchases. The code appears in procurement activity primarily through school child nutrition services, state-supported living centers, and centralized food service warehouses that consolidate ingredient sourcing across multiple facilities.
