UNSPSC 50401780: Zio p avocados

The variety of avocados known as zio p avocados

UNSPSC 50401780 Zio p avocados (Commodity) represents fresh produce items that state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, child care facilities, correctional institutions, and senior services, though recent opportunities under this code show minimal activity specifically tied to avocados and instead reflect broader fresh produce procurement across multiple jurisdictions. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeat solicitations from Georgia districts including 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, and Bulloch County School District, alongside independent school districts in Texas (Northside ISD in San Antonio, Austin ISD, McAllen ISD) and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). Other issuing bodies include state-level procurement offices in Texas and Georgia, county criminal justice systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Head Start organizations, cities (San Antonio Parks and Recreation through its senior services division), and a Missouri school district (Rockwood R-VI). The scope of work shows produce delivered fresh, pre-cut, pre-packaged, or processed for consumption in institutional settings—ranging from USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program supplies for elementary students to bulk canning-grade vegetables for correctional food service. All recent opportunities emphasize HACCP compliance, Buy American preferences, weekly refrigerated deliveries, and traceability documentation.

Georgia and Texas account for the heaviest concentration of recent activity. The Bartow County Schools RFP 10-2026-019 (due June 22, 2026) sought local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles, with contract award anticipated July 20, 2026, and the Glynn County Board of Education IFB 27-02 (due April 14, 2026) requested 60 produce line items for 16 schools with weekly Tuesday deliveries. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio issued RFP 2026-048 (due May 7, 2026) for fresh produce serving 117 campuses with five-day-per-week delivery and a contract term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, while Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa posted RFP 26039RFPDST (due March 11, 2026, with award anticipated August 4, 2026) for specialty fruits and vegetables under the federally funded Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at approximately $600,000 annual budget. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued multiple produce IFBs in June 2026 for bulk white potatoes (IW253099), sweet potatoes for canning (IW253121), and carrots (IW253079 and IW241979-A, the latter seeking 1,200 tons of carrots with a March 17, 2026 deadline), reflecting institutional bulk-commodity demand distinct from school nutrition procurement. Head Start of Greater Dallas issued IFB 26-GP (due June 24, 2026) for frozen and fresh produce totaling approximately $969,460.94 across primary, secondary, and tertiary suppliers, while the City of San Antonio's Department of Human Services requested proposals (RFP 26-070, due May 27, 2026) for produce market operations and distribution at senior centers. Opportunities are active across spring and summer 2026 with contract terms typically running July through June and emphasizing local/regional sourcing, food safety certification, and volume-based pricing structures aligned to USDA market indices or cost-plus models.
