UNSPSC 50401762: Puebla avocados

The variety of avocados known as puebla avocados

UNSPSC 50401762 Puebla avocados, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement that does not currently reflect the actual purchasing activity in recent solicitations. The source contains no recent solicitations specifically naming Puebla avocados or avocados as a distinct line item. Instead, state and local issuing bodies are buying fresh produce, fresh fruits and vegetables, and food service supplies as broader categories—including apples, bananas, lettuce, carrots, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, broccoli, peppers, and related items—typically bundled within larger food-service or school-nutrition contracts. The code's abstract name does not align with the commodity-level specificity seen in practice; what state and local governments are actually procuring under produce codes is comprehensive weekly or bi-weekly fresh-produce supply to institutional food-service operations (correctional facilities, mental health centers, state supported living centers, school districts, senior centers) rather than procurement of a single variety or origin-designated produce item.

Recent solicitations show that produce procurement is dominated by Texas agencies—the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice—alongside Georgia school districts and Illinois departments. Representative current opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (Consumables Foods for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026), which bundles prepared foods and food-service supplies; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's RFP IW267420 (Fresh fruit and vegetables for Snyder Food Warehouse, due October 14, 2026) and IW267376 (Fresh Fruit & Vegetables for Palestine, due October 19, 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections' IFB 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 (Fresh produce for Joliet Treatment Center, due September 3, 2026) with a small-business set-aside; and the Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed-bid solicitation for fresh produce covering 40 line items (due June 16, 2026). The code sees activity in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Wisconsin, with school districts and state institutional agencies as the primary buyers. Vendors pursuing this code should expect composite fresh-produce contracts with firm fixed pricing, F.O.B. Destination delivery terms, compliance with USDA quality standards, weekly or bi-weekly delivery schedules, and substantial insurance requirements rather than pursuit of a single origin-specific product variety.
