UNSPSC 50411708: Organic black prince avocados

The variety of organic avocados known as organic black prince avocados

UNSPSC 50411708 Organic black prince avocados is a Commodity code that represents a specific fresh produce item, yet recent state and local procurement activity shows little to no solicitation demand for this product by type. Instead, state and local governments are acquiring fresh produce through broad, multi-item competitive procurements that bundle avocados—if requested at all—within large fresh fruit and vegetable line-item baskets rather than as standalone commodities. School districts, county education systems, and state agencies are the dominant buyers, issuing RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs for comprehensive fresh produce contracts that typically encompass 60 to 100+ line items spanning apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and other commodity fruits and vegetables alongside eggs and occasionally prepared produce. Pricing is generally anchored to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Terminal Market reports and evaluated on a line-item basis, with awards often split across multiple vendors based on lowest responsive bid and quality compliance. Vendors must maintain HACCP certification, comply with Buy American provisions, carry $1 million to $2 million general liability insurance, provide food safety documentation, and deliver Monday through Friday to multiple school sites within specified time windows.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Texas school districts, with additional procurement from Florida, Missouri, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include Northside Independent School District (San Antonio) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce with response due May 7, 2026; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) line-item food bid with response due June 8, 2026; Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) RFP for specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program with response due March 11, 2026; Muscogee County School District (Georgia) ITB 26-017 for approximately 60 produce line items with response due April 27, 2026; and Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One, proposals due March 4, 2026. The competitive landscape favors established produce distributors with multi-year experience supplying institutional buyers, refrigerated delivery capability, and ability to meet volume commitments across multiple sites. Single-item commodities like organic black prince avocados see acquisition only as line items within these broad produce contracts, not as standalone procurements.
