UNSPSC 50421707: Dried biondo avocados

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

UNSPSC 50421707 Dried biondo avocados (Commodity) spans dried fruit and specialty produce items purchased by state and local food service operations, but the recent solicitation activity indexed under this code shows minimal overlap with the nominal commodity — state and local governments are not currently soliciting dried biondo avocados specifically. Instead, the code's recent postings reflect a wider array of food procurement tied to institutional meal programs: school district nutrition services, corrections and detention food supply, child care feeding programs, and state institutional operations. The buying bodies issuing under this code include state departments of corrections, state nutrition and food agencies, county and municipal school districts, and county social service agencies. Work solicited ranges from single-commodity buys (dried pinto and red beans for Oregon corrections) to broad master grocery contracts spanning hundreds of line items (Fairfax County Public Schools' K-12 grocery sourcing, Rockwood R-VI School District's 900+ item annual grocery bid for roughly 19,000 students). Institutional food procurement at this tier emphasizes USDA compliance, federal nutrition standards, Buy American requirements, firm fixed pricing, and delivery to multiple locations on defined schedules.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two separate dried-bean procurements (pinto beans in March and combined pinto and red beans in June 2026, with bids due within two weeks); Texas has multiple active bids including the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB (extended response deadline May 4, 2026) and the City of Edinburg Child and Adult Care Food Program RFP (due August 4, 2026); Georgia issued fresh-produce and eggs RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts with estimated annual spending near $5.5 million combined (due March 4, 2026), plus a produce-only IFB from Muscogee County School District (due April 27, 2026) and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh-produce annual bid (due April 23, 2026). Missouri's Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items bid (due April 29, 2026) spans 900+ SKUs for roughly 6,900 daily lunch participants. Virginia's Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract requires bidding minimum 76 items for delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). Illinois state procurement for quarterly food supply (due June 26, 2026) and Georgia state fresh produce IFB (due May 27, 2026) complete the recent geographic picture. The mismatch between the code name and actual buying signals that state and local procurement offices are tagging broad food-supply activity under this commodity code rather than sourcing dried biondo avocados as a distinct line item.
