UNSPSC 50102501: Palm nuts and kernels, in shell

A tree nut still in its shell.

UNSPSC 50102501 Palm nuts and kernels, in shell is a Commodity-tier code that sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code are predominantly general food service and grocery supply solicitations from school districts, state health and human services agencies, and state departments — covering broad food product categories such as fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, and prepared entrees rather than palm nuts or tree nut kernels specifically. The issuing bodies include the State of Illinois, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Douglas County School System (Georgia), reflecting a mix of state agencies and school districts engaged in child nutrition and institutional food service. None of the recent solicitations name palm nuts or coconut kernels as line items or specify procurement of this commodity.

The recent opportunities span Illinois, Texas, Georgia, Virginia, and Missouri, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia and the broader Southeast, driven by school district child nutrition procurement cycles. Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026) for grocery product supply to 45 schools and distribution centers across Fairfax County, Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items RFP for the 2026–27 school year (due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for Fresh Produce and Eggs across 30 school districts in Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined. The code shows no clear alignment with actual purchasing patterns under its nominal scope; vendors pursuing palm nut or tree nut kernel supply should verify specific line-item requests rather than rely on this code's tagging.
