UNSPSC 50466907: Canned or jarred hurst green shaft peas

The variety of sugar peas known as hurst green shaft peas that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466907 Canned or jarred hurst green shaft peas is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable canned vegetables, particularly peas and other legumes and vegetables suitable for institutional food service. State and local governments procure these items primarily through state health and human services agencies operating state-supported living centers and state hospitals, along with county and municipal departments managing senior services, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities. The purchases typically consist of multiple cases of canned vegetables ordered annually as part of larger food supply contracts, with delivery required within days of order placement and pricing evaluated on a per-unit or per-case basis. Scope commonly includes brand-specific items or approved equivalents meeting USDA grades and federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act standards, with minimum shelf-life requirements (often 12 months remaining at delivery) and compliance with nutritional labeling and sodium content restrictions where applicable.
