UNSPSC 50401715: Booth 8 avocados

The variety of avocados known as booth 8 avocados

UNSPSC 50401715 Booth 8 avocados, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity recorded in the source. The opportunities solicited under this code identifier involve fresh produce procurement spanning fruits, vegetables, and related food service items for school nutrition programs, child care operations, and institutional food service, but none are specifically for avocados or the Booth 8 variety. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests either a coding error in the source data or that avocado-specific procurement under this code is not currently active at the state or local level.

School districts in Georgia and Texas dominate recent activity, with multiple sealed-bid and RFP solicitations posted between February and July 2026 for fresh produce supply contracts. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) requesting fresh specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program with proposals due March 11, 2026; Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) soliciting fresh produce for child nutrition with bids due May 7, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posting multiple IFBs for bulk commodities including carrots (1,200 tons), white potatoes, and sweet potatoes in June 2026. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and the Georgia Department of Education have also issued statewide food product solicitations. Issuing bodies span school districts of varying size, state facilities (TDCJ, Department of Public Instruction), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative, Texas Statewide Procurement). Geographic concentration in Texas and Georgia reflects recent posting volume, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri. Absent specific avocado-focused opportunities in the recent record, business development professionals should verify whether this code is the appropriate taxonomy entry for target markets, as current state and local solicitations under this identifier do not track avocado supply.
