UNSPSC 50421712: Dried booth 3 avocados

The variety of avocados known as booth 3 avocados that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50421712 Dried booth 3 avocados (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local opportunities the source reports. The most recent solicitations tagged to this code procure dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans — for institutional food service, correctional facilities, and child care programs, not avocados. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity; the mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the procurement system or that this Commodity code is being misapplied to bean procurement.

State and local buyers are purchasing dried beans in bulk quantities for institutional meal preparation at correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and state agency dining operations. Recent opportunities span Georgia Correctional Industries (requesting 880-bag increments of kidney beans, RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections (approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, bid due June 19, 2026), and the State of Oregon (dried black beans, triple-cleaned, bid due August 21, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Georgia procurement offices also include dried beans within broader cafeteria and food-supply solicitations. Issuing bodies are primarily state correctional departments, state procurement offices buying on behalf of multiple agencies, and municipal food service programs. A local-vendor preference applied to the City of Edinburg's Child and Adult Care Food Program procurement under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051.

Activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and Southeast (Georgia), with Texas representing significant institutional food service volume. Recent specifications emphasize triple-cleaned beans meeting USDA No. 2 grade or better, compliance with FDA and HACCP standards, and minimum one-year shelf life. Delivery terms are typically FOB destination with palletization and all-inclusive pricing incorporating freight and fuel. The Oregon ODOC procurement notes a historical purchase price of $0.493 per pound (August 2025) from incumbent Intersect USA. No opportunities actively soliciting avocados or matching the code's nominal scope appear in the recent posting history.
