UNSPSC 50411736: Organic haas avocados

The variety of organic avocados known as organic haas avocados

UNSPSC 50411736 Organic Haas avocados is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for avocados of any kind, organic or conventional. Instead, the code tags a broad range of fresh produce and food service solicitations—primarily school nutrition program contracts for mixed fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and prepared produce items delivered to K-12 campuses. State and local governments soliciting under this code are buying multi-item produce bundles (apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus, potatoes, and prepared salads) as part of annual nutrition service contracts, not single-commodity specialty items like organic avocados. The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging system or that organic Haas avocado procurement, if it occurs at all in the state and local market, falls below the threshold of recent visibility.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education—including Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and smaller districts in rural Georgia and Missouri—along with state procurement offices in Georgia and Missouri. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida, with Georgia showing the highest density of recent solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include Northside ISD's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce (response date May 7, 2026), the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for fresh produce (April 23, 2026), the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts (March 4, 2026 deadline, estimated $5.5 million annual spend), and Austin ISD's RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages (March 11, 2026). Most use sealed-bid or RFP methods with annual contract terms running July 1 through June 30 of the following year, firm pricing for the contract period, weekly or twice-weekly delivery, HACCP certification and Buy American compliance requirements, and evaluation weighted heavily toward price with secondary consideration of quality and vendor capability. The code does not reflect a viable market segment for organic Haas avocados as a standalone line item in state and local contracting at this time.
