UNSPSC 50401757: Nesbitt avocados

The variety of avocados known as nesbitt avocados

UNSPSC 50401757 Nesbitt avocados, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source contains no solicitations explicitly requesting Nesbitt avocados or avocados as a standalone line item. Instead, the recent opportunities span fresh produce procurement broadly — including apples, bananas, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and mixed fresh fruits and vegetables — issued by state departments, school districts, county governments, and local agencies across multiple states. The code's narrow focus on a single cultivar does not match the generalized produce categories actually being solicited. State and local buyers are acquiring fresh produce through consolidated food-service contracts rather than targeting specific avocado varieties.

The issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supporting state-supported living centers), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (multiple food warehouse locations), school districts in Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Texas, county health departments and regional parks, and state departments of corrections and mental health. Recent opportunities span Texas (dominant share), Georgia, Illinois, and Wisconsin, with activity concentrated in fiscal-year food-service cycles. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026, IFB, 22 line items of prepared and bulk food products), the Illinois Department of Corrections' RFQ for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (due September 3, 2026, small-business set-aside, bi-weekly fresh fruit and vegetable deliveries), the Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed-bid procurement for fresh produce across 24 school nutrition sites (due June 16, 2026, 40 line items including apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, and potatoes), and the Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026, weighted evaluation on cost, seasonal variety, and product quality). The code shows limited relevance to current state and local buying patterns.
