UNSPSC 50411769: Organic simmonds avocados

The variety of organic avocados known as organic simmonds avocados

UNSPSC 50411769 Organic simmonds avocados (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent solicitations tagged to this code overwhelmingly procure fresh produce broadly — apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, strawberries, citrus, and prepared produce items — for school nutrition programs, not organic avocados specifically. School districts and county boards of education issue the vast majority of opportunities, supported by federal child nutrition funding and the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP). Georgia and Texas dominate recent activity, with secondary presence in Florida and Missouri. This code appears to be a labeling artifact rather than a meaningful procurement taxonomy for business development purposes; the actual buying is institutional fresh produce supply to K-12 food service, evaluated primarily on price, delivery reliability, food safety compliance (HACCP, recall procedures, Buy American), and fill rates.

Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education (RFP SN26-005, due June 8, 2026) for line-by-line fresh produce, meats, dairy, and non-food supplies across three schools with emphasis on domestic sourcing and whole-grain options; Northside Independent School District in San Antonio (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026) for USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable fresh produce delivered five days weekly to 127 campuses, evaluated 35% on price and 25% on extent of meeting needs; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa (RFP 26039RFPDST, due March 11, 2026) for specialty fresh fruits and vegetables under the federally funded FFVP serving approximately 18 elementary schools with a fixed cost-plus fee model and an estimated $600,000 annual budget; and the Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) on behalf of a 30-district Georgia cooperative with estimated annual spend of approximately $4.4 million for Area One, requiring net-cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing capped at USDA terminal market prices. Delivery windows are consistently 6:00–14:00 Monday–Friday during school year, with vendors required to carry $1–2 million general liability, maintain HACCP certification, demonstrate debarment compliance, and remain responsive to price adjustments tied to USDA terminal market indices or CPI. Award cycles run 60–90 days post-bid, with contract terms beginning July 1 and renewable for multiple one-year periods contingent on performance.
