UNSPSC 50377000 Canned or jarred organic nominant fruits is a Class code that spans state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products, including applesauce, for institutional food service. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and mixed canned fruit items for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, veterans' homes, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education, school districts, state health and human services commissions, and county departments of community services. The work encompasses food commodity sourcing and delivery logistics rather than processing or manufacturing.
