UNSPSC 50401740: K-9 avocados

The variety of avocados known as k-9 avocados

UNSPSC 50401740 K-9 avocados is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh produce—apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, onions, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes, and other fruits and vegetables—under this and related produce codes to supply institutional food service operations at correctional facilities, mental health centers, state-supported living centers, schools, senior centers, and parks. The actual solicitations show institutional buyers purchasing produce in bulk for cafeterias, canteens, nutrition programs, and food warehouses rather than specialized avocado procurement. The issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Schools, Bryan County Schools, Early County Schools), county governments (Collier County, Marion County), municipal parks departments (City of San Antonio), and federal Head Start child care programs. Texas agencies—particularly HHSC and TDCJ—issue the largest share of recent opportunities, with repeat postings for food service groceries, canteen supplies, and bulk produce for multiple institutional locations.

Recent solicitations span Texas (HHSC for Lufkin and Mexia State Supported Living Centers in August and October 2026; TDCJ for fresh produce warehouses in Palestine, Snyder, Wynne, and Huntsville with response dates in September and October 2026), Illinois (Department of Corrections' Joliet Treatment Center in August 2026; Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center in August 2026), Georgia (Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Schools, Bryan County Schools, and Early County Schools with response dates from May through June 2026), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District's Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program in July 2026), Florida (Collier County Parks in March 2025), and Texas statewide (Comptroller's procurement for TDCJ cafeteria food products in May 2026). Representative opportunities include the Texas HHS IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin (due October 23, 2026); TDCJ's fresh fruit and vegetable RFP IW267376 for Palestine (due October 19, 2026); Collier County's ITN for North Collier Regional Park food services (due March 6, 2025); Illinois Department of Corrections' RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 for fresh produce at Joliet Treatment Center (due September 3, 2026, small-business set-aside); and Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with local-sourcing and diversity-preference criteria (due July 29, 2026).
