UNSPSC 50375200 Canned or jarred organic passion fruit, a Class code, encompasses shelf-stable preserved fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show that this code sits within a broader institutional food procurement ecosystem where state agencies, school districts, and county social-service departments source multiple canned and jarred fruit items in volume. The work being bought is straightforward: vendors supply cases of canned or jarred fruit products meeting USDA commodity specifications, with delivery to central distribution points or institutional kitchens, pricing evaluated on per-unit or per-case basis, and awards typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, independent school districts, county boards of education, county departments of community services, and city boards of education — a mix spanning state executive agencies and local education and social-service bodies.
