UNSPSC 50401712: Booth 3 avocados

The variety of avocados known as booth 3 avocados

UNSPSC 50401712 Booth 3 avocados, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code represents a single agricultural product line — specifically a varietal designation within the broader fresh produce category — yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations that tag avocados specifically or source them as a standalone line item. Instead, state and local bodies are procuring fresh produce through broader RFPs and IFBs that encompass dozens of fruit and vegetable items bundled as part of school nutrition programs, child care food service, senior services, and institutional feeding operations.

The solicitations in the block reflect the actual procurement pattern: school districts in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri are seeking vendors to supply comprehensive fresh produce portfolios — including apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, and seasonal items — typically through consolidated RFPs with response deadlines spanning February through July 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce with a May 7, 2026 deadline, the Dougherty County Board of Education (Albany, Georgia) sealed bid for 40 produce line items with a June 16, 2026 deadline, and the Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) RFP 026-41 for commercial groceries and produce with a February 25, 2026 deadline and an estimated 2026-2027 contract value of approximately $3.1 million. While individual varietal codes like 50401712 exist in the UNSPSC taxonomy, state and local procurement rarely buys to that level of granularity. Vendors pursuing produce supply contracts should target broader Family or Class codes that capture fresh fruits and vegetables as commodity groups rather than specific cultivars, and should monitor school district, county nutrition program, and institutional food service solicitations across the South and Southwest, where the recent activity concentrates.
