UNSPSC 50401723: Collinson avocados

The variety of avocados known as collinson avocados

UNSPSC 50401723 Collinson avocados, a Commodity code, does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source shows zero recent solicitations for avocados; instead, the opportunities are predominantly for broader fresh produce supply — vegetables, fruits, and mixed fresh-produce assortments delivered to institutional food service operations including correctional facilities, state supported living centers, school districts, senior centers, and health care facilities. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily purchasing fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts serving large populations, not specialty items like Collinson avocados specifically.

The issuing-body mix spans Texas state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), Georgia school districts (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County), Illinois state facilities (Department of Corrections, Department of Mental Health), Texas school districts (Madison Metropolitan), and county and municipal jurisdictions (Collier County Florida, City of San Antonio). Texas state agencies and Georgia school districts account for the heaviest recent activity. Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice seeking fresh fruit and vegetables for food warehouses serving correctional institutions (IW267420 Snyder, IW267411 Wynne, due October 14, 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections requesting fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under small-business set-aside (IFB 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026); and multiple Georgia school districts procuring seasonal fresh produce for school nutrition programs (Dougherty County sealed bids due June 16, 2026 for 40 produce items; Bryan County sealed bid due May 27, 2026). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois, Florida, and Wisconsin. The code itself shows a mismatch with actual procurement — avocados do not appear in any recent opportunity, suggesting either misclassification by issuing bodies or obsolete taxonomy mapping that should be verified before pursuing.
