UNSPSC 50407017: Chaoyotes

The type of vegetable known as chaoyotes

UNSPSC 50407017 Coyotes is a Commodity code that does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under this designation. Recent opportunities tagged with this code are solicitations for fresh produce, prepared foods, food service supplies, and consumable groceries — items spanning fresh fruits and vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and disposables for institutional food service operations, not coyotes or wildlife products. The source shows a fundamental mismatch between the code's nominal scope and current procurement activity. State and local issuing bodies applying this code include state departments of criminal justice and health and human services, county school systems, regional parks departments, municipal senior services divisions, and state mental health facilities, with Texas and Georgia showing the largest concentration of recent tagged activity. The mix spans large institutional food service contracts for prisons, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services.

Representative recent opportunities reveal the actual scope under this tag. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods and supplies at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, covering prepared foods, containers, napkins, and service items. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued multiple IFBs for fresh fruit and vegetables to prison food warehouses, including solicitation IW267376 (due October 19, 2026) for fresh produce delivery to Palestine, and Dougherty County Board of Education School Nutrition Program issued a sealed bid (due June 16, 2026) for 40 fresh produce line items across 24 school sites in Georgia. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin issued RFB 4163 (due July 29, 2026) for ready-to-eat fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles, with the District applying a $0.20 per pound organic preference. Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food concession services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025, with local vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points). These opportunities signal active demand for produce sourcing, food service supply, delivery logistics, and quality assurance in the institutional food service space, though the UNSPSC code assignment appears erroneous and may hinder accurate categorization or discovery of these procurements.
