UNSPSC 50401734: Hall avocados

The variety of avocados known as hall avocados

UNSPSC 50401734 Hall avocados, a Commodity code, names a single produce item that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs serving K–12 students under federal child nutrition reimbursement. Recent activity shows school districts, county boards of education, and state agencies buying fresh produce items—including avocados as part of broader produce line-item solicitations—for meal programs, Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grants, and institutional food service. The code sits within a much larger ecosystem of fresh produce procurement where avocados compete as one line item among dozens of fruit and vegetable offerings in consolidated school nutrition bids.

School districts and county education systems dominate the recent issuing-body mix, with activity concentrated in Georgia, Texas, and Florida. Georgia shows the highest density of recent solicitations, with Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, and Henry County Schools all posting fresh produce RFPs or IFBs in the past four months. Texas school districts including Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Austin Independent School District, and McAllen Independent School District are active concurrent buyers. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple institutional food service RFBs for produce and related items. Representative recent opportunities include Bartow County Schools' RFP 10-2026-019 (due June 22, 2026) seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables from vendors within 400 miles, evaluated on cost, seasonal variety, ordering capability, product availability, and customer support; Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed bid (due June 16, 2026) for 40 fresh produce line items including apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, and tomatoes; and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST (due March 11, 2026) for specialty fruits and vegetables to support the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at 18 elementary schools, with a fixed cost-plus model and estimated annual budget of $600,000. Most school district produce bids weight price heavily (30–50 percent) alongside product quality, delivery reliability, and compliance with Buy American and HACCP food safety standards, with local or regional sourcing preferences common where distance caps (typically 200–400 miles) or state-grown preferences apply.
