UNSPSC 50401768: Semil 43 avocados

The variety of avocados known as semil 43 avocados

UNSPSC 50401768 Semil 43 avocados, a Commodity code, receives sparse state and local procurement activity grounded in school nutrition and institutional food service. Recent opportunities show school districts and other institutional buyers sourcing fresh produce—including avocados as part of broader produce line items—for child nutrition programs, with delivery and packaging specifications that emphasize ready-to-eat or minimally processed form, traceability by farm of origin, and compliance with USDA food safety standards. The mix of issuing bodies is predominantly school districts (elementary and secondary), Head Start programs, and state departments of criminal justice, with occasional municipal or county food service operations. Texas and Georgia school districts dominate recent activity, with scattered opportunities in Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut, reflecting national school nutrition procurement cycles aligned to fiscal years beginning July 1.

Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 (posted July 8, 2026, due July 29, 2026) for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles and Wisconsin, with weekly delivery of ready-to-eat produce to elementary students under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, and Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB No. 26-GP (posted June 24, 2026, due June 24, 2026) covering approximately 32,409 cases of produce and other foods for child care centers under CACFP requirements. School district produce procurements typically emphasize local or regional sourcing preferences, organic options at pricing premiums, traceability documentation, farm-of-origin labeling, and GAP or HACCP certification; institutional buyers weight cost heavily (often 30–50% of scoring) alongside product quality, delivery reliability, and compliance with nutrition standards. Avocados appear incidentally in produce line-item bids rather than as standalone solicitations; the code's activity reflects fragmented institutional demand rather than dedicated avocado procurement.
