UNSPSC 50401744: Lisa p avocados

The variety of avocados known as lisa p avocados

UNSPSC 50401744 Lisa p avocados is a Commodity code that describes fresh avocados procured for institutional food service operations. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily correctional facilities, mental health and supported living centers, school districts, and senior services programs that source produce through consolidated food service procurement channels. Issuing bodies include state departments of criminal justice, state health and human services commissions, school nutrition programs, and county and municipal departments. The work involves supplying fresh produce—avocados in this case—as part of broader food service contracts that also encompass proteins, dairy, grains, frozen items, and non-food supplies. Recent solicitations show that avocados are commonly bundled within larger produce or groceries contracts rather than procured as standalone line items, often with specifications for quality, pack sizes, delivery schedules, and compliance with USDA standards and food safety regulations.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois, with particular volume from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), and Georgia school districts. Representative recent opportunities include the HHSC's IFB HHS0017799 for food service groceries to Mexia State Supported Living Center (bids due August 25, 2026), which covered produce across multiple NIGP commodity codes including fresh items; the Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed bid for fresh produce serving 24 school nutrition sites (bids due June 16, 2026) with 40 line items spanning apples, carrots, lettuce, and potatoes; and Bryan County School Nutrition Program's sealed bid procurement for fresh produce including approximately 1,024 cases of apples, 260+ cases of carrots, and multiple other varieties (bids due May 27, 2026). TDCJ has issued multiple solicitations for fresh fruit and vegetables to warehouses in Snyder, Wynne, and Palestine, Texas (responses due October 14 and October 19, 2026), typically as separate procurements. School districts frequently apply local-sourcing preferences (requiring produce within 400 miles) and diversity-based scoring in their evaluation criteria, and many contracts run for initial one-year terms with options for multiple one-year renewals. Institutional buyers typically evaluate on cost, delivery compliance, product quality, and vendor references, with firm fixed pricing and F.O.B. Destination terms standard across the opportunities posted since April 2026.
