UNSPSC 50375803: Canned or jarred organic aurora plums

The variety of organic plums known as organic aurora plums that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50375803 Canned or jarred organic aurora plums is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity state and local governments are conducting under this classification. Recent opportunities solicited under this code span shelf-stable and fresh produce for institutional food service—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed commodity food products for schools, corrections facilities, senior services, veterans homes, and state health agencies—rather than the narrow product category the code name suggests. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, county purchasing offices serving senior services, school districts, and city nutrition departments. The mix reflects both routine school nutrition procurement and larger statewide or regional food-service contracting for institutional populations including incarcerated individuals, veterans, seniors, and persons in state-supported living centers. Georgia (Gwinnett County Schools, Hancock County Schools, and the State of Georgia), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (Department of Criminal Justice, Health and Human Services Commission, and Austin Independent School District), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education) show recent activity.
