UNSPSC 50401751: Meya p avocados

The variety of avocados known as meya p avocados

UNSPSC 50401751 Meya p avocados (Commodity) represents fresh produce sourcing for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and child care operations. State and local governments buy avocados and allied fresh fruits through this code when supplying school lunch, breakfast, and child nutrition meal components; the recent activity reflects demand from K–12 school nutrition programs, child care networks, and corrections facilities rather than standalone avocado procurement. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Northside Independent School District and Austin Independent School District in Texas, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia), county school systems (Douglas County, Glynn County, Dougherty County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Bryan County, Henry County, and Early County in Georgia; Muscogee County in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri), child care and Head Start organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and corrections agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School districts dominate the recent competitive activity, with fresh produce RFPs and IFBs posted by districts serving 8,200 to 83,000 students seeking to fill school-year nutrition contracts running July through June and requiring weekly or twice-weekly deliveries to 13 to 60 school sites. Produce specifications across these solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, domestic sourcing under Buy American requirements, HACCP certification, traceability, and often local sourcing preferences (within 200–400 miles), with pricing typically quoted per unit or per case and delivery costs included in all-in pricing.

Recent activity clusters heavily in the Southeast, particularly Georgia, with significant Texas school district procurement. The Glynn County Board of Education IFB 27-02 (bids due April 14, 2026) and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (bids due March 4, 2026, covering 30 school districts with estimated spending of $5.5 million combined across two geographic areas) represent multi-district scale opportunities. The Madison Metropolitan School District RFP 4163 for Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks (bids due July 29, 2026) seeks 5,900 weekly servings from Wisconsin-sourced vendors under USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program funding, with a 5 percent preference for diverse-owned businesses and a $0.20-per-pound organic produce discount in price comparison. Northside Independent School District RFP 2026-048 in San Antonio (proposals due May 7, 2026) calls for fresh produce for five-day weekly delivery to 83 schools across the district, with evaluation weighted heavily to price (35 percent) and extent of goods meeting district needs (25 percent). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple produce procurements for bulk institutional food service (carrots, sweet potatoes, white potatoes) with bids due in late June 2026, all submitted electronically through the TDCJ Bonfire portal. Austin Independent School District RFP 26RFP034 (proposals due March 11, 2026) requires fresh produce vendors to commit to the Good Food Purchasing Program, report sourcing data annually, and demonstrate supply-chain labor and environmental accountability as contract conditions. Avocado-specific activity is light in posted materials, but the code sits within broader fresh-produce family procurement where multi-vendor awards, line-item splitting, and cost-plus or firm-fixed-price structures are standard practice in K–12 nutrition contracting.
