UNSPSC 50131702: Shelf stable milk or butter products

UNSPSC 50131702 Shelf stable milk or butter products, a Commodity code, covers fluid milk in multiple fat contents and flavors, shelf-stable milk varieties, butter, cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, sour cream, and related dairy products that state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, institutional food service operations at state facilities, and specialized child nutrition initiatives. School districts dominate the issuing bodies under this code, with recent activity also from state youth facilities, state health and human services agencies, Head Start programs, and county boards of education. The work ranges from routine weekly or quarterly ordering of milk and dairy products in bulk quantities—spanning dozens to millions of units annually depending on district size—to formal competitive bidding for multi-year supply contracts with delivery requirements to dozens of school locations and state institutional sites.
