UNSPSC 50335873 Dried organic santa rosa plums (Commodity) covers whole, pitted dried prunes and plums that school districts, state correctional facilities, and municipal education departments procure for institutional food service. State and local governments buy these products as components of larger fresh and processed produce contracts that supply cafeteria operations, nutrition centers, and correctional facility kitchens.
