UNSPSC 50401765: Ruehle avocados

The variety of avocados known as ruehle avocados

UNSPSC 50401765 Ruehle avocados, a Commodity code, is not actively solicited by state and local governments in recent procurement records. The code's nominal scope—a single avocado variety—does not align with the work actually being purchased: recent opportunities tagged under produce-related codes span broad fresh-fruit-and-vegetable supply, institutional food service, school nutrition, and correctional facility catering, but none name Ruehle avocados or any avocado variety as a line item. State procurement offices, correctional departments, school nutrition programs, health and human services agencies, county park systems, and child care organizations have issued invitations for fresh produce in the past four months—Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple Lufkin State Supported Living Center and Mexia State Supported Living Center food procurements), Texas Department of Criminal Justice (wholesale produce for multiple food warehouse locations and correctional institutions), Illinois Department of Corrections (fresh produce for Joliet Treatment Center), Illinois Department of Mental Health (fresh fruits and vegetables for Madden Mental Health Center), Georgia school districts (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County), Madison Metropolitan School District, Collier County Parks and Recreation, and Head Start of Greater Dallas—but these solicitations request mixed produce boxes, full vegetable and fruit assortments, or generic "fresh fruit and vegetables" without naming individual cultivars. The code shows no relevant recent activity.

State and local procurement in this space clusters in Texas (TDCJ multiple locations, HHSC institutional facilities), Georgia (school districts), Illinois (corrections and mental health), and scattered county or municipal food-service operations. Opportunities are predominantly IFBs and sealed-bid RFPs with response dates between May and October 2026, typically requiring produce delivery on F.O.B. Destination terms with quality and food-safety compliance, but Ruehle avocados do not appear as a specified commodity in any posted notice. If pursuing produce supply at the commodity level, business development should target broader family-code activity (fresh fruits and vegetables generally) or Class-code opportunities (specific produce categories) rather than this narrow Commodity code, which reflects no current state or local buying pattern.
