UNSPSC 50401771: Taylor avocados

The variety of avocados known as taylor avocados

UNSPSC 50401771 Taylor avocados is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities. The source shows no recent bids or RFPs for Taylor avocados specifically; instead, the code is paired with fresh produce solicitations that span mixed produce baskets across fruits, vegetables, and sometimes eggs. School districts, county boards of education, and state procurement offices are the dominant issuing bodies, along with one Head Start provider and one city senior services department. The work being solicited ranges from comprehensive annual food service contracts encompassing 60+ produce line items to targeted Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) supplies for elementary schools to local farm-to-school sourcing within geographic radius limits. Evaluation criteria typically weight cost between 30 and 50 percent, with secondary consideration for quality, delivery reliability, traceability, and compliance with Buy American and food safety standards. Vendors must carry general liability insurance (typically $1 million minimum), HACCP certification where applicable, E-Verify authorization, and debarment clearance. Contracts run one school or fiscal year with renewal options ranging from two to four additional years. Payment terms cluster around Net 30 days.

Procurement activity concentrates in Georgia (Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Glynn County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Bulloch County Schools, and Henry County Schools all posted produce RFQs or ITBs in March–May 2026) and Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Northside ISD in San Antonio, Hillsborough County Schools in Tampa, and multiple Texas Department of Criminal Justice bulk vegetable procurements). Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST for Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program specialty produce delivery to 18 elementary schools, due March 11, 2026, at $600,000 annual budget; Austin Independent School District RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages across all district locations, due March 11, 2026; Northside Independent School District RFP 2026-048 for child nutrition fresh produce across 117 campuses with five-day-per-week delivery, due May 7, 2026; and the Douglas County School System GEC Buying Cooperative RFP SN 26-004 spanning 30 Georgia school districts with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending, due March 4, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted multiple bulk vegetable procurements in June 2026 (carrots, white potatoes, sweet potatoes for canning) under separate IFBs with consolidated response dates.
