UNSPSC 50401751: Meya p avocados

The variety of avocados known as meya p avocados

UNSPSC 50401751 Meya p avocados is a Commodity code representing fresh produce items state and local governments buy for institutional food service, primarily at correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, mental health facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local buyers procuring generic fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts rather than avocados specifically—the code appears to serve as a catch-all for fresh produce procurement even when the actual item purchased diverges from the nominal commodity name. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, county school districts, municipal parks departments, and specialized public health and social service agencies. The work solicited includes weekly or bi-weekly deliveries of fresh produce (apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, and other seasonal items) meeting USDA freshness and quality standards, with vendors typically bearing transportation costs on an F.O.B. Destination basis and providing traceability documentation by farm of origin where required.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois, with standout repeat buyers including the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (multiple food warehouse locations), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state-supported living centers), and Georgia school districts. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetable supply for the Snyder Food Warehouse and Wynne Food Warehouse (IFBs IW267420 and IW267411, both due October 14, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting consumable foods for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026); the Bartow County School System in Georgia seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles for the 2026-2027 school year (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026); and Madison Metropolitan School District requesting fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specifications (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, with 5 percent preference for Wisconsin-based diverse-owned vendors and a $0.20 per-pound organic produce discount applied in price comparison). Contracts typically run one fiscal year with renewal options, carry insurance requirements ranging from $500,000 to $1 million general liability, and often include prevailing wage compliance, E-Verify verification, and debarment certifications as standard compliance conditions.
