UNSPSC 50401748: Lula macarthur avocados

The variety of avocados known as lula macarthur avocados

UNSPSC 50401748 Lula macarthur avocados, a Commodity code, does not map to the state and local procurement activity recorded in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally designates a specific avocado variety, yet the available solicitations covering fresh produce—school nutrition programs, child care food services, institutional feeding, and senior center operations—show no explicit demand for avocados or branded avocado products, let alone the Lula MacArthur variety. School districts, Head Start agencies, and state institutional buyers soliciting produce are requesting broad fresh-fruit-and-vegetable portfolios (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes, and seasonal items), with evaluation weighted toward cost, quality, delivery reliability, and traceability. The recent opportunities do not isolate individual specialty produce lines by cultivar. This code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's narrow product scope and the wide-ranging institutional produce procurement suggests the code may be incorrectly tagged on opportunities, or demand for this specific avocado variety through state and local procurement channels is not presently active.

School districts dominate the issuing body mix across the broader fresh-produce landscape (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Bartow County and Dougherty County Schools in Georgia, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, Austin ISD, Northside ISD in San Antonio, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, and multiple other Georgia districts), alongside Head Start programs, state criminal-justice procurement (Texas Department of Criminal Justice for bulk produce canning), and municipal and county government food services. Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Connecticut, with activity spanning RFPs and IFBs posted March through July 2026 for school-year 2026-2027 contracts. Representative solicitations include Bartow County Schools seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026); Douglas County Schools procuring fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative for thirty school districts across two Georgia areas (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, estimated spend $4.4 million Area One, $1.1 million Area Two); and Austin ISD requesting fresh produce and beverages with emphasis on Texas-grown items and Good Food Purchasing Program compliance (RFP 26RFP034, due March 11, 2026).
