UNSPSC 50327007: Dried coconuts

The drupaceous fruit of the coconut palm whose outer fibrous husk yields coir and whose nut contains thick edible meat and coconut milk that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50327007 Dried coconuts, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The state and local opportunities posted since January 2026 show substantial activity in school nutrition procurement and correctional facility food service, but none of these solicitations seek dried coconuts specifically; instead, they solicit fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus), proteins, dairy, grains, eggs, and dried fruits such as raisins, cranberries, and nuts. A single opportunity from Santa Clara County's correctional food service (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) procures dried fruits and nuts including walnuts and pecans, but the scope excludes coconuts and centers on dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit blends. The remaining ten opportunities span school district nutrition programs across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, and California, all focused on master grocery contracts, fresh produce, and general food supply—categories that sit at higher UNSPSC family and class tiers rather than at the dried-coconut commodity level.

State and local procurement activity under this code is not documented in the recent source material. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual buying patterns in recent state and local solicitations suggests that dried coconuts—whether whole, shredded, or in other forms—represent either minimal or irregular demand across the school districts, county governments, and correctional facilities represented in this dataset, or are purchased under broader food-commodity codes rather than at the commodity-specific tier. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor cooperative purchasing vehicles and specialty food-service contracts in correctional, institutional, and school-nutrition channels, but current visibility into active opportunities is limited.
