UNSPSC 50401762: Puebla avocados

The variety of avocados known as puebla avocados

UNSPSC 50401762 Puebla avocados (Commodity) does not see meaningful recent activity aligned with the code's scope in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code consist almost entirely of broad produce solicitations—fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, school nutrition grocery items, and institutional food service contracts—where avocados may be one line item among dozens or hundreds of produce categories, if mentioned at all. Most solicitations name no avocado specification and instead request comprehensive fresh-produce offerings spanning apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes, and seasonal vegetables. One Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement explicitly names carrots as the commodity; another names white potatoes for canning; a third requests sweet potatoes. A Georgia fresh-produce RFP and a Texas fresh-produce IFB provide no itemized detail. The code's nominal scope—Puebla avocados specifically—does not align with what state and local governments are actually buying through these notices.

The issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Northside Independent, Hillsborough County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County, Glynn County, McAllen Independent, Meriden Public Schools, Austin Independent, Douglas County), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), Head Start programs, and municipal agencies (City of San Antonio, Rockwood School District in Missouri). Geographic concentration lies in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with scattered activity in Connecticut and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include Bartow County School System (RFP 10-2026-019, fresh fruits and vegetables from local farms within 400 miles, due June 22, 2026), Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts, due March 4, 2026, estimated $5.5 million annually), and Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB for carrots, 1,200 tons, bids due March 17, 2026). None of these solicitations emphasize or isolate Puebla avocados as a procurement focus. Firms pursuing avocado supply to state and local institutional buyers will find better signal in broader commodity codes spanning fresh produce or by monitoring school nutrition and corrections procurement directly rather than relying on this Commodity-level classification.
