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 50377007 Canned or jarred organic coconuts, a Commodity code, names a narrowly specialized food product category that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show no actual solicitations for canned or jarred organic coconuts; instead, they span broad food-service categories including fresh produce (berries, melons, citrus, root vegetables), canned and frozen proteins, dairy, shelf-stable staples for nutrition programs and correctional facilities, and dried fruit products. State and local governments purchasing under codes near this tier buy food commodities for school nutrition, senior services, corrections, state hospitals, and state-supported living centers—typically in volumes measured in cases or truckloads and with firm fixed pricing, delivery windows, and compliance certifications (USDA grades, FDA standards, HACCP plans, Buy American provisions). The issuing bodies are diverse: school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Schools), county boards of education, state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut), county commissioners (Gwinnett County), and municipal nutrition departments (Bridgeport Board of Education).

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Southwest: Georgia (Gwinnett County, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin ISD, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, HHSC), Illinois (State of Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, soups, vegetables) due October 19, 2026, quoted informally; Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce, with bids due July 31, 2026, and historical pricing at $21.84 per case; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million and bids due July 13, 2026. The code itself reports no current solicitations for organic coconuts specifically, signaling that the category may not represent an active procurement segment under state and local contracting at present.
