UNSPSC 50401779: Wurtz avocados

The variety of avocados known as wurtz avocados

UNSPSC 50401779 Wurtz avocados, a Commodity code, covers fresh fruit supply to state and local institutional food service operations — specifically avocados and produce items purchased by correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and health care agencies for meal preparation and canteen operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code and closely related produce categories emphasize bulk fresh fruit and vegetable procurement with strict quality, delivery, and temperature-control requirements; bidders must meet USDA grade standards, provide traceability documentation, and deliver on FOB Destination terms with all transportation costs included in pricing.

Issuing bodies span Texas state agencies (Department of Criminal Justice food warehouses, Health and Human Services Commission state-supported living centers), Georgia school districts (Bryan County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), Illinois state facilities (Department of Corrections Joliet Treatment Center, Department of Mental Health Madden Mental Health Center), school districts in Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Florida county parks (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and federal child care programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Health and Human Services Commission are standout repeat buyers, each issuing multiple produce and food service solicitations in recent months. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Florida, with secondary activity in Wisconsin and multistate procurement through cooperative vehicles.
