UNSPSC 50401711: Booth 1 avocados

The variety of avocados known as booth 1 avocados

UNSPSC 50401711 Booth 1 avocados is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within the broader fresh produce category. State and local governments—primarily state corrections agencies, state health and human services departments, school districts, and county parks and recreation boards—procure this item as a component of larger food service contracts rather than as a standalone solicitation. Recent activity shows avocados are solicited within mixed fresh fruit and vegetable supply agreements that cover institutional food service, student nutrition programs, and facility canteen operations. The actual purchasing pattern diverges from the code's specific focus: avocados appear in broader commodity bundles alongside carrots, potatoes, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, and other produce, often bundled with non-food kitchen items and prepared foods. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county school nutrition programs (Bartow County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Early County in Georgia; Madison Metropolitan in Wisconsin), municipal parks departments (Collier County Parks and Recreation, City of San Antonio Senior Services), and regional health coalitions.

State and local procurement under this code concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Wisconsin, with recent activity driven by annual fiscal-year food service contracts running July 2026 through June 2027 or September 2026 through August 2027. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple IFB solicitations for fresh fruit and vegetables to food warehouses serving correctional facilities (October 2026 response dates), Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under the USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program (bids due July 29, 2026), Bartow County Schools' RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh produce (bids due June 22, 2026), and Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed-bid procurement for fresh produce across 24 school nutrition sites (bids due June 16, 2026). Most solicitations specify F.O.B. Destination pricing, bi-weekly or weekly delivery cadences, compliance with USDA quality standards and food safety regulations, and insurance requirements of $500,000 to $1 million general liability coverage. No federal small-business set-asides appear; however, several Georgia school districts and Wisconsin's Madison Metropolitan School District offer local-vendor or diverse-owned-business preferences worth 5–15 evaluation points.
