UNSPSC 50401759: Pinelli avocados

The variety of avocados known as pinelli avocados

UNSPSC 50401759 Pinelli avocados (Commodity) remains dormant for state and local procurement; the recent opportunities block shows no active solicitations specifically requesting avocados, Pinelli or otherwise. School districts, county nutrition programs, state criminal justice systems, and municipal food service agencies across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Florida, and Connecticut have issued 30 recent solicitations for fresh produce—including focused bids on carrots, white potatoes, and sweet potatoes for canning—and comprehensive multi-item produce procurements spanning dozens of line items, but avocados do not appear as a standalone or itemized category in any posted opportunity. Produce procurement activity remains concentrated in child nutrition (USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program, National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and federally funded Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program initiatives) and institutional food service for corrections facilities, senior centers, and Head Start programs.

State and local buyers are sourcing fresh produce through mixed vehicle types—IFBs, RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs—with response deadlines ranging through July 2026 and contract terms typically running fiscal year (July–June) cycles with renewal options. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for weekly fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (due July 29, 2026), Northside Independent School District (Texas) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce across 117 campuses (due May 7, 2026), Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP SN 26-004 serving 30 districts cooperatively with $5.5 million estimated annual spend (due March 4, 2026), and Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) RFP 026-41 with $3.1 million projected contract value (due February 25, 2026). Georgia school systems and Texas institutional buyers (TDCJ, school districts, Head Start) dominate recent activity, with secondary participation from Missouri, Florida, and Connecticut. Geographic preference clauses and local-sourcing requirements (e.g., 400-mile radius, 200-mile local-farm mandates, Texas-grown preferences) are standard. The code shows no matching activity; a business evaluating avocado supply contracts should search parallel produce codes or wait for district produce RFPs explicitly naming avocados as a line item.
