UNSPSC 50367007: Canned or jarred 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 canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50367007 Canned or jarred coconuts is a Commodity-tier code with little recent activity directly aligned to its nominal scope; state and local solicitations tagged with this code are procuring canned fruit (applesauce, pears) and dried fruit products for institutional food service rather than coconut-specific items. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, independent school districts, and school boards across multiple states. Representative recent opportunities show the Oregon Department of Corrections procuring canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026) at $21.84 per case for 4,760 cases to be delivered to its Central Distribution Center in Salem, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting supplemental food and consumables including canned goods for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide under IFB HHS0016792 with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years.

Geographic spread centers on Texas, Oregon, and Georgia, with additional activity in Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri. The mix of issuing bodies—primarily school nutrition programs, state institutions, and corrections departments—reflects institutional bulk food purchasing patterns rather than coconut-specific procurement. Procurement methods include ITBs, RFPs, and IFBs with response dates typically spanning 30 to 60 days. Buy American requirements appear frequently across school district solicitations, and deliveries are typically FOB destination with firm fixed pricing for contract terms. The code sees steady but unspecialized activity; vendors should verify actual scope language in each RFP rather than relying on the UNSPSC code name to signal coconut product opportunities.
