UNSPSC 50401777: Wagner avocados

The variety of avocados known as wagner avocados

UNSPSC 50401777 Wagner avocados is a Commodity code that captures fresh avocado procurement for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, child care centers, correctional facilities, and senior services. State and local governments are buying fresh avocados as components of broader produce contracts for meal programs rather than as stand-alone line items; the code appears in food service RFPs and IFBs alongside carrots, potatoes, apples, and other fresh produce staples. Recent opportunities tag fresh produce more broadly, with avocados embedded in multi-item solicitations for weekly delivery to institutional kitchens and cafeterias.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with nearly all recent activity concentrated in Georgia and Texas. The Dougherty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Bryan County Schools (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), and McAllen Independent School District (Texas), along with Northside Independent School District (Texas) and Austin Independent School District (Texas), have all posted sealed-bid or RFP solicitations for fresh produce lines that would include avocados where specified. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Head Start of Greater Dallas have also solicited produce for institutional food service. Representative recent opportunities include the Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed-bid solicitation (IFB, due June 16, 2026) for 40 fresh produce line items delivered to 24 school sites; the Muscogee County School District's sealed-bid procurement (ITB 26-017, due April 27, 2026) for approximately 60 produce items indexed to USDA Fruit and Vegetable Market News pricing; and Austin Independent School District's RFP (26RFP034, due March 11, 2026) for fresh produce and beverages across all AISD food service locations. Activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia particularly) and South-Central regions (Texas), with secondary activity in Florida and Missouri school districts. Contract values for comprehensive produce procurement range from $600,000 (Hillsborough County Public Schools, FFVP-only, estimated) to $4.4 million (Douglas County School System cooperative, Area One multi-district). Most contracts run July through June aligned to the school year, with weekly or twice-weekly delivery, FOB Destination pricing, HACCP certification requirements, and Buy American compliance mandates.
