UNSPSC 50421714: Dried booth 7 avocados

The variety of avocados known as booth 7 avocados that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50421714 Dried booth 7 avocados, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitations tagged under this code do not involve dried avocados; instead, they reflect institutional food procurement for correctional facilities, child and adult care programs, and state agency meal services. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the City of Edinburg (Texas) have all posted bids for dried beans, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and miscellaneous food supplies in bulk quantities suitable for institutional kitchens and cafeterias. The code captures the procurement of commodity foodstuffs for state correctional systems, educational institutions, and social-services meal programs rather than specialty or branded dried-avocado products. Issuing bodies are predominantly state correctional or purchasing departments, with occasional municipal participation for child-care food programs.

Activity is concentrated in three states: Oregon (two opportunities from the Department of Corrections and state agencies), Georgia (two from correctional industries and a general food-supplies procurement), and Texas (the Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, plus the City of Edinburg). Illinois shows one quarterly food-order solicitation. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, triple-cleaned to U.S. No. 2 or better grade, with bids due June 19, 2026, FOB destination to the ODOC Central Distribution Center in Salem with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation adjustment; the Georgia Correctional Industries RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments, due October 9, 2026, with all-inclusive delivery pricing required; and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB for cafeteria food products (IFB No. 304T-26-300CF) spanning 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments for TDCJ warehouse distribution, with responses extended via addendum to May 4, 2026. The code shows consistent activity but appears to be misaligned with its nominal dried-avocado designation; procurement professionals should verify code assignment when evaluating opportunities posted under this category.
