UNSPSC 50401753: Monroe avocados

The variety of avocados known as monroe avocados

UNSPSC 50401753 Monroe avocados is a Commodity code that sits at the bottom of the United Nations Standard Products and Services Code taxonomy, but the recent state and local procurement record shows minimal direct solicitation activity for this specific produce item. School districts, county boards of education, state agencies, and Head Start organizations are procuring fresh produce—including avocados implicitly as part of broader fresh-fruit-and-vegetable portfolios—primarily through aggregated RFPs and IFBs that bundle dozens of produce line items rather than through single-commodity solicitations. The work being bought is delivery of fresh, ready-to-eat produce to school nutrition programs, senior services programs, early childhood care facilities, and state institutional food service operations, with vendors required to meet USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance, maintain HACCP certifications, provide traceability documentation, and deliver on fixed weekly schedules with temperature-controlled transport.

Issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Northside Independent, Hillsborough County, Bartow County, Henry County, Glynn County, and others), county boards of education across Georgia, state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), and specialized agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas). The geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with notable activity also in Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, requiring 5,900 servings weekly sourced within 400 miles of Madison and processed before delivery; Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of produce meeting CACFP requirements, due June 24, 2026, with a pre-bid conference held April 16, 2026; and the Bartow County School System RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, due June 22, 2026. Avocados are not explicitly named in any of the recent solicitations reviewed, appearing only as implicit line items within broader produce specifications. Vendors responding to these codes should expect to quote Monroe avocados as one component of comprehensive produce portfolios rather than as standalone buys.
