UNSPSC 50421700: Dried avocados

The type of vegetable known as avocados that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50421700 Dried avocados is a Class code that does not reflect the actual recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source contains no solicitations for dried avocados. Instead, the code appears incorrectly applied to a diverse set of food service procurements spanning fresh produce, dried beans, cafeteria staples, and grocery items for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and child care operations. None of these opportunities match the dried avocado commodity. The code shows no relevant recent activity and presents a taxonomy mismatch that makes it unsuitable for business development targeting.

The broader food service category under which these opportunities cluster — fresh produce, dried legumes, and grocery staples for institutional meal programs — does generate steady state and local procurement activity across school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). However, UNSPSC 50421700 itself does not capture this activity and should not be used as a targeting code for vendors pursuing state and local food service contracts.
