UNSPSC 50401783: Beneke avocados

The Beneke Avocado is grown and distributed in the Dominican Republic, The Beneke is similar to a more typical green-skin avocado-it has a smoother texture, less oil and it turns red-black as it ripens.

UNSPSC 50401783 Beneke avocados is a Commodity code that does not reflect recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains one solicitation explicitly tagged with the code—a Texas Department of Criminal Justice bid for carrots (IW241979-A, March 2026)—which plainly does not match the code's nominal scope. The remaining opportunities in the source block address fresh produce procurement more broadly, spanning school nutrition programs, child care services, and institutional food service across multiple states, but none are specifically solicited for avocados or tagged to this commodity code.

State and local governments that do procure fresh produce through RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB processes—including school districts in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut; county school boards; and federal child nutrition programs such as Head Start and the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program—show strong activity in apples, bananas, carrots, berries, leafy greens, tomatoes, potatoes, and other commodity vegetables and fruits. Procurement volumes are substantial, with multi-million-dollar annual contracts and weekly or twice-weekly delivery requirements to dozens of school sites or institutional locations. However, Beneke avocados specifically do not appear in any of the recent representative solicitations, making this code a poor match for current state and local purchasing patterns in the source material. Business development professionals should verify current demand by consulting state and local procurement offices directly before committing resources to avocado supply positioning.
