UNSPSC 50401778: Waldin avocados

The variety of avocados known as waldin avocados

UNSPSC 50401778 Waldin avocados is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged with this code does not include solicitations for Waldin avocados or any specific avocado product line. The source documents twenty-six fresh produce and food service solicitations from state agencies, school districts, and other public bodies across the past four months, spanning produce such as carrots, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, apples, bananas, broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes, strawberries, and comprehensive fresh fruit and vegetable programs—but none name avocados or reference UNSPSC 50401778 in their scope. Three solicitations (Texas Department of Criminal Justice bids IW241979, IW253099, and IW253121) name specific vegetables but do not reference the avocado code. The Georgia fresh produce solicitations by state agencies and multiple school districts (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Douglas County) and similar procurements in Texas, Connecticut, and Florida focus on staple produce categories and institutional food service supply rather than specialty or branded commodity lines.

The issuing bodies in the documented opportunities span state departments of criminal justice (Texas), state boards of education and school nutrition programs (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Florida, Missouri), large school districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio with 117 schools; McAllen ISD with 31 campuses; Austin ISD; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa), counties and county school systems (Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Bulloch County, Henry County in Georgia; Bryan County in Georgia), Head Start agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas), municipalities (City of San Antonio Department of Human Services), and a regional cooperative (GEC Buying Cooperative). Geographic concentration is highest in Georgia and Texas, with additional activity in Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026) covering 30 school districts across two Georgia regions with estimated spend of $5.5 million annually; the Bartow County School System RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables (due June 22, 2026) with contract award anticipated July 20, 2026; and the Northside Independent School District RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce to 117 campuses in the San Antonio area (due May 7, 2026). None of these opportunities align with the Waldin avocado commodity code, suggesting that this code either sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity or that issuing bodies are not tagging avocado purchases with UNSPSC 50401778.
