UNSPSC 50421702: Dried arue avocados

The variety of avocados known as arue avocados that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50421702 Dried arue avocados is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not involve avocados at all. Instead, issuing bodies are soliciting dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans — along with broader institutional food-supply categories including proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and kitchen products for correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agencies. The work reflects institutional bulk procurement for high-volume meal service and food warehousing rather than specialty produce sourcing. Issuing bodies include state correctional agencies (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices acting for multiple agencies (Georgia, Illinois, Oregon), and municipalities serving child care programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and actual procurement activity; dried beans dominate the recent solicitations, suggesting the code may be incorrectly tagged by issuing bodies or that the taxonomy entry itself does not reflect current institutional food sourcing.

Activity concentrates in three states: Georgia (correctional and general food supplies), Oregon (dried beans for state and correctional use), and Texas (correctional cafeteria items and child care meal programs). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Statewide Procurement Division issuing IFB 304T26300CF on May 4, 2026 for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas with responses due May 4, 2026 and an extended deadline to May 4, 2026 via addendum; the Oregon Department of Corrections soliciting bids for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans on June 5, 2026 with responses due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST; and the City of Edinburg, Texas issuing RFP2026017 on August 11, 2026 for CACFP meal program supplies (beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial items, and nonfood products) serving 400 children daily with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Georgia Correctional Industries posted RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans on October 2, 2026 with responses due October 9, 2026, requiring 880-bag increments and all-inclusive delivery pricing. The code sees active, recurring procurement activity but primarily in dried beans and institutional food staples rather than avocado products.
