UNSPSC 50411723: Organic collinson avocados

The variety of organic avocados known as organic collinson avocados

UNSPSC 50411723 Organic collinson avocados is a Commodity code that captures fresh-produce procurement by state and local school districts and education agencies—though the recent solicitation record shows the code is being applied broadly to general fresh-produce categories rather than avocados specifically. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies, with multiple Georgia and Texas districts soliciting fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs for child nutrition programs via IFB, RFP, and ITB notices. The work being solicited includes weekly or twice-weekly delivery of fresh produce staples (apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus, potatoes, berries) and specialty items (pre-cut vegetables, fruit cups, prepared salads, Vidalia onions, sweet potatoes, strawberries) to school campuses and central kitchens, with vendors required to maintain HACCP certification, comply with Buy American provisions, carry $1 million to $2 million general liability insurance, and provide recall procedures and traceability documentation. Delivery schedules typically run Monday through Friday between 6:00 AM and 2:30 PM during the school year (August through May or July 1 through June 30 contract years), with pricing firm for the contract period and subject to adjustment only after documented market increases verified by USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. Georgia school districts—including Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Early County, and Bulloch County—have posted IFBs and RFPs between March and May 2026 with response dates ranging from April 3 to June 22, 2026. Texas school districts, notably McAllen Independent School District and Austin Independent School District, solicited fresh produce through RFPs due in early March 2026. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued a cooperative buying-group RFP (SN 26-004) through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spend of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two), with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas posted RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce due May 7, 2026, and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida solicited fresh fruit and vegetable program supplies due March 11, 2026 with an estimated $600,000 annual budget funded by USDA grants. No incumbent vendors, set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, or budget caps are typically disclosed in these solicitations; awards are made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, often on a line-item basis allowing multiple vendors per district.
