UNSPSC 50411713: Organic booth 5 avocados

The variety of organic avocados known as organic booth 5 avocados

UNSPSC 50411713 Organic booth 5 avocados is a Commodity code that does not reflect actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities dataset. The code nominally describes a single produce item—organic avocados—but the recent solicitations under this code encompass comprehensive fresh-produce procurement for school nutrition programs, spanning dozens of produce categories (apples, bananas, berries, vegetables, citrus, potatoes, eggs) rather than avocados specifically. State and local governments are not purchasing avocados as a standalone contracted line item; instead, school districts and their cooperative purchasing vehicles are acquiring broad produce portfolios to support child nutrition, the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, and farm-to-school initiatives. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school boards, supported by regional buying cooperatives such as the GEC Buying Cooperative, along with occasional state agencies (Georgia Department of Education, state procurement offices). Buyers include Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and the Douglas County School System (Georgia).

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Missouri. Representative solicitations include Early County Board of Education's RFQ for food and non-food products (due June 8, 2026) spanning 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies for child nutrition programs; Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce (due May 7, 2026) requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable-compliant items, Texas-grown preference through "Harvest of the Month," and pricing tied to USDA Specialty Crops Terminal Markets; Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (due March 11, 2026) requiring pre-cut, pre-packaged specialty fruits and vegetables in 50-unit cases; Bulloch County School District's Invitation for Proposal for locally-grown produce within 200 miles (due May 4, 2026); and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) covering 30 school districts with estimated spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (organic booth avocados) and the actual procurement activity (comprehensive institutional produce sourcing) indicates the code assignment does not serve business development targeting in this category.
