UNSPSC 15101610: Coconut shell charcoal

A type of activated carbon manufactured from coconut shell which is considered superior to other sources mainly because of the small macropore structure of coconut shells which renders them more effective for the adsorption of gas/ vapour and for the removal of color, oxidants, impurities and odor of compounds.

UNSPSC 15101610 Coconut shell charcoal is a Commodity code with negligible recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026—is for law enforcement equipment and bears no relationship to coconut shell charcoal or activated carbon products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that coconut shell charcoal does not drive meaningful solicitation volume at the state and local level.

Without relevant recent opportunities, no pattern of issuing bodies, geographic concentration, or representative work examples can be established under this code. State and local procurement professionals pursuing suppliers of coconut shell charcoal should verify that opportunities are being tagged correctly in source systems and watch for future activity directly aligned with the code's actual commodity scope.
